Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
I would be lying if I said I was not startled upon discovering this huuuuuge dark fishing spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus) on top of my composting bin while walking around my yard in the wee hours last August...I might even have emitted a large yelp lol
I want you to meet

October Arachtober 8th is for learning to draw spiders!
Why? 10 & 8 are all you need!
1️⃣Draw an 8. This is the spider's body: head+abdomen 2️Draw 10 limbs (8 legs (longer) + 2 pedipalps ("arms"; shorter, near the front) ALL attached to the head!
Ta-da! You've now drawn a more accurate spider than many Spider-Man logos! (yes, really.)
For some extras, consider adding:
👁️Spiders have 8 eyes (or fewer, in intervals of 2: 6,4,2,0). These are NOT compound eyes, but multiple camera-type (like our own) eyes. Size, shape, position & # vary between families.
🦷Spiders have 2 fangs, w/ one bulky segment+one sharp segment, like 9
🕸️You can also add 2 spinnerets to the abdomen; they look like short narrow limbs. This is where the silk comes from! They don't spit/eject the silk, instead touching the spinnerets to something, then unspooling silk by moving away. Think a tape dispenser roll or something.

Scorp and scorplings! Newborn scorpions ride on their mother’s back until they grow a hard exoskeleton on their first molt.
