Choose Generate Bones... (Cmd+G) from the Bones menu.
On the screen you will see two letters A and B. These letters signify which side of the bones structure will attach to the parent node (body in this case). Since this is an arm, you can think of this as specifying the shoulder joint of the arm. Click the A button so that the shoulder joint of the arm is the one which is connected to the spider's body.
Select all of the vertices of the next "arm". dim3 Inspire remembers the previously entered information, and also auto-increments the 3 Letter Prefix so all you need to do is click "Okay". Repeat the previous step and choose A or B, depending upon which one is the actual shoulder joint.
