Facehuggers are, have, and will always be underestimated because they seem small, and even fans find them "equal" to regular earth spiders, but they aren't.
First, even "regular" Facehuggers are MUCH larger than a spider and even our heads, and that doesn't include when they reach their full leg span.
Second, Facehuggers are MUCH stronger than they let on. And example is in Aliens when Ripley (and not just her soon after) struggled to contain one of the little bastards.
Alien 3 was possible because the Facehugger in the movie is a Superfacehugger which hid onboard. Its first host was Ripley who contained the Queen embryo, and the second was the dog/ox who contained and later gave birth to the Dogalien.
Supereggs aren't created by the Queens. They're created by lone Drones (called Greys) who perform some kind of process with a legal host, which morph into the superegg which contains the Superfacehugger.
The Superfacehugger wasn't the one who ripped Bishop II, it was the Queen.
