That's pretty messed up, yeah.

I just ignore the "Ultimates" universe.
It's basically just a seething mass of stupid...squared.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
So, you can live with the premise that a radioactive spider bites a man and turns him into a half-spider/half-man super hero, but the possibility that this alternate universe could have spider-ants with 10 legs isn't plausible? :P

My no-prize answer is that someone at SHIELD doesn't know jack-all about spiders... 
The real answer is more likely just an art flub. Editors! Do your jobs and catch this stuff!!!

To not establish the existence of this creature is just poor writing
Eh.

Hey man, there goes a Spider-ant!
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
I'm gonna go ahead and blame this one on the artist....I've noticed a downward trend in art quality overall, lately. Artists used to take time to pay attention to details, like backgrounds of panels. Now, you look at the background and see blobs of characters. Perhaps they can't meet deadlines, due to overwork? I don't know, but I just notice this trend of lack of quality.
Don't I know you???

I know spiders. You know I know spiders. And that is just plain messed up.

You folks are all missing the point. He was bitten by a radioactive mutant spider. As such it can have more than eight legs and can have grown a head all its own. This symbol is just acknowleging the mutantness of the spider that gave Miles his powers.
