#orb weavers are not it

[fidgetspringer]

The tentative truce between my arachnophobic ass and the baby orb weaver currently living on the inside of my chronically open window.

a new Argiope species for me, but one that may be familiar to folks in the Americas. the Banded Garden Spider is native to North and South America, but is now also found in parts of Africa, Europe, and Australasia.

Luscious purple for this antique summer kimono showing jorogumo (golden orb-weaver spider) on their delicate webs.

OP nicknamed this kimono 'Temptation of the Spider's Web', a nod to the fact jorogumo also used to designate dangerous youkai who loved to lure humans, especially men, and then devour them. They appeared as partly or full humans, always taking the shape of beautiful and entrancing women.

Their name was originally written with 女郎 kanji lit. meaning “whore” which may explain the association often found in tales between them and classical yujo (prostitute) features and tools – such as cord instruments (like shamisen, or sometimes biwa).

Shovin was once apart of the moth tribe, but when the infection arose, instead of facing his tribe in their collective crime of forgetting the radiance, he ran away and hid. He now passes as a Mosskin in Greenpath, and worships Unn. He is quiet, and finds shame with himself

Melphissa is a weaver who remained in Hallownest after the infection appeared. She makes garments enhanced/enchanted with weaver loom patterns that she spins herself. She is vain and prioritizes physical appearance, taking great pride in making garbs for those who ask.

Bieter is a Honeypot Ant who came from another nest. he gathers exotic or hard to find food (usually honey), and sells it to others as he travels. Bieter has a short fuse and doesnt entirely know when to back down, willing to take on foes or challenges far too big for him.

Hoggin doesnt remember their past. All they know is the Grimm troupe they've joined and their role as a performer. All they desire is to make people happy. They are cryptic and jovially antagonistic (but are truly joyful and carefree)

Ground/Psychic Dreamcatcher deer & Poison/Psychic Nightmare spider (No official names yet)

Dreamcatcher deer is based on this photos of a Spider weaving its web on the antlers of a Deer, mixed with a Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher deer is able to sense when someone is being plagued by nightmares and using its psychic powers it is able to absorb those nightmares

Nightmare spider is based on the Orb Weaver spiders, specifically the Longhorn Orb Weaver, mixed with a Longhorn steer skull

Nightmare spider's poison causes its victims to fall in a deep slumber and experience terrible nightmares, the spider then feeds on the suffering of the victim, eventually the nightmares will stop and the victim will wake up, but it might take days unless the Dreamcatcher deer uses its powers to free the victim and help it heal. This two pokemons are natural enemies

Angeltober #10: Spiders are a good omen, angelic spiders even more so

A beautiful Jewel Spider (Austracantha minax). Endemic to Australia, and the sole species of the genus Austracantha.

These macros turned out surprisingly good, considering she was moving around so much. I like that you can see her feet hooked around the strands of silk as she's climbing.
