Ungoliant didn't need to create spiders, and it specifically says they had been dwelling there a long time. No one really knows (remember, this is an elf history, not some omniscient account) where Ungoliant came from originally, only that she was dark and strong, especially when gorged on light. The above quote seems self-explanatory to me. Ungoliant went into hiding, she found other spiders...no need to make some elaborate History of the Spider Creation.
Tolkien also mentions werewolves and regular wolves. Are you implying now that all wolves had to have been created by Melkor or the werewolves?
