#araneae
Haven’t drawn Araneae and Venomess together since the snake’s appearance. Good time to practice comic shading :D

Araneae:Sorry boys. Maybe you should get back to Call of Duty
Thug: How do we keep missing her fat ass!?
Araneae:….saving you for last

Just Araneae and Scarlet-Widow hanging on the roof, taking turns taking down bad guys :D (Had to draw our two spidies for reasons…..)

Been on a bit of a spidersona frenzy lately, so I made what would be Araneae’s first issue cover :D Good practice with posing and shading as well as backgrounds.

Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
This common pirate spider (Mimetus puritanus) set up shop by one of my bug lights this past summer. ID via iNat

Found this fairly creepy-looking wolf spider on the wall next to my porch light. Thx to Aaron McKee for identifying this as Allocosa funerea.

I thought for sure that an id was out of the question on this cobweb spider, because I only caught a shot of the underside, but it turns out that the shape of the epigyne (external genital structure on females, which is what you probably guessed it was from the name ;-)) is an id character for this species, which Aaron McKee helpfully pointed out is Steatoda borealis.

Gotta admire the gumption of this tiny running crab spider (Philodromus sp.), taking down a midge with a body more than twice the length of it!
(Thx to Aaron McKee for identifying this as a running crab spider)

This nursery web spider (Pisaurina mira) has captured a most delicious meal!
Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
Check out the coloring on this metallic crab spider (Philodromus marxi)! It looks like an Xmas ornament!

This cute and super fast spider was identified over at iNat as a Two-banded Ant-mimic Sac Spider, Castianeira cingulata. It’s got something delicious it is clinging to but its prey was too small for me to id.
Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
This cobweb spider (I think) was quite intent on sucking the life out of the leafhopper it snagged. From the side of my house near a light, last July :-).
Bug of the Day - Arachtober!
This jumping spider (tan jumping spider, Platycryptus undatus) was nomming on something delicious it grabbed off the moth sheet last July.

Happy Arachtober 1st! For those of you not familiar with Arachtober, it’s all arachnids, all month! Mainly spiders for me. Enjoy!
This appears to be a Theridid spider, possibly the adorably-named common candy-striped spider, Enoplognatha ovata.
