Orbweaver, family Araneidae
Identification courtesy of What's That Bug? The name, orbweaver, comes from the beautiful circular (not spherical) web, which you can't see because it's in shadow. And because I didn't paint it. Some years ago, I spoke to a physician who specialized in the treatment of wounds. I can't recall her name, but she worked at Arcadia Methodist. She said spiders got a bad rap; many, probably most, of the skin irritations people assume are spider bites are not. I felt I should pass that along.
Nice job. I love bug illustrations. Spiders are nice.. for the most part...
ReplyDeleteThis spider got lucky to be the subject of a painting.. nice cool job Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI like spiders as long as they don't touch me. Against the white background this little legged creature really makes a bold statement.
