I'm a bit late for Halloween, but meet the Marbled Orb weaver! They're also known as pumpkin spiders thanks to that vibrant orange coloring and because by October they've grown in size after feasting on insects all summer long!

They're fairly docile as long as they don't feel threatened, and as with most orb weavers aren't venomous enough to cause significant harm to humans, though you still shouldn't handle them unless you know what you're doing.

On that note, ive got some nicknames for the goober!

Well, not many but...

Itll work :3

Sparrow- Their actual name, Well, the one after the whole presumed dead thing

Pumpkin spice- I can imagine someone calling her this as a joke cause haha pumpkin spider

Pumpkin Spider- Her alias! The public actually started calling them this because he couldnt come up with a name when asked ^^

Jack-O-Lantern- again, probably called this as a joke, from her suit having a sort of that triangle eyes style on their sweater :D

However, she hates this nickname. Dont call him that unless you want to get under their skin.

Also from the suit, someone has definitely tried to compare the sweater design to a bat before- So they probably have some bat related nicknames

Baby pumpkin/garden spiders!

We had one living on our porch last fall

And I caught another just inside the door.

So I was HOPING that when I found a yellow egg sac in our mailbox that it was theirs, and sure enough there are now dozens of baby pumpkin spiders wiggling around outside our mailbox figuring out where to go next.

I just hope at least one of them decides to stick around and grace us with their pumpkin-y presence this Halloween like their parents did.

Some spider studies I've done before recent Deciphering pages. Until I've decided to draw eye flowers, I had an idea from previous page of eye mushrooms, and then I thought about eye spiders. But I asked my girlies how would they feel about lots of spider imagery with eyeballs, some of them cringed a lot x) So yeah, it was set to be dahlias x)
