Is it 'nouveaux araignees' rather than 'nouvelles araignees' ?
(feminine noun starts with a vowel)
This question relates to:French lesson "Beau, nouveau, vieux have different plural forms for masculine and feminine (French Adjectives)"

Bonjour Matthew,
No, you're a bit mixed up.
Per the note at the bottom of the lesson: "The masculine forms bel, nouvel and vieil (when in front of a vowel) become the regular masculine plural beaux, nouveaux and vieux."
Feminine nouns always use their feminine forms; it's only singular masculine ones that have the special form.
