You should be able to test that by using FROM and TO and doing a log analysis for an hour in the middle of the night, and looking at the Full Browser report. Most well behaved spiders identify themselves. You can also do a Full Browser report on requests for /robots.txt and then use that to create a list of BROWEXCLUDE commands so that you can see if the human-driven traffic patterns make more sense.
