But I see that all the helpful graphics have been removed from the hosting site so will have to be repaired at some point.
Of course, a veil gives a unit the possibility of being hidden but it depends on what the potentially observing units have in spot. IF they have higher spot on the tile the unit is in, they'll beat that veil and if all veils are beat by a unit or collection of units, the player with those observing units gets to see the veiled unit.
Generally speaking, your units with Spot have that Spot of the amount and types listed into the same and adjacent plots and then -1 per plot outward from there to the limit of the overall sight limit of the unit. Additional Spot Range will extend this maximum Spot rating out a space, but not to exceed the limit of sight overall.
Therefore,

It means that if the Tarantula doesn't have any Size Type Spot ability, yes. However, MOST all units have SOME Size Type Spot value and the basis of it comes from the unit's Quality ranking. So a more naturally combatative unit tends to be more aware of the smaller details in their environment and around them. You'll have a very hard time avoiding detection from a hero unit by simply splitting down your unit to a bunch of individual sized units to slip past unnoticed.
Generally speaking, a Standard Quality unit is going to spot any Company+ volume unit of Medium size+. That's probably, IIRC, about the balance point of it. If your unit volume or individual size is smaller, it might require a little more awareness than what is usual from a Standard Quality unit to spot you. There can be numerous other factors as well.
