No, they are not referred to as insects in (correct) English either, they are arachnids - though sometimes people do not make the distinction.
To refer to both insects and spiders & similar in one term you could use the (rather less formal) terms "bugs" or "creepy crawlies". I can 't think of anything more formal off the top of my head.
