From the Super Mario Wiki
A Kumo is a weird hopping enemy found in Easton Kingdom in Super Mario Land. Kumos attack in a pattern similar to a Fighter Fly, hopping around until it comes in contact with Mario. In fact, there are no differences in the attack patterns of a Kumo and a Fly. A jump or two superballs can easily defeat it. After doing so, Mario is rewarded with 400 points. Kumos are only found in World 3-2. In appearance, Kumos look much like generic tarantulas that are about the size of Mario.
