Pretty much what the above commenter said. It's very common for spider characters to make some sort of reference to "The Spider and the Fly" particularly if they're villains/antagonists.

(Off-topic recommendation: You should look up images of the picture-book adaptation of The Spider and the Fly with illustrations by Tony DiTerlizzi. Very Tim Burton-esque)
