[ID: an acrylic painting of a plant with arrow-shaped leaves and a long, cone-shaped inflorescence on a black background. There is a spider web stretched between the inflorescence and some of the leaves. A red and yellow arrow-shaped spider hangs from a silk thread from one of the leaves. There are two lady beetles on the plant, three small red imps scattered throughout, and a small red serpent below the plant.]

@firekitten830​ submitted: I’ve never seen a spider(?) like this before! I had a lovely time watching them crawl around though I don’t think they were very happy about the fact they they were in a moving vehicle (I got them out once we stopped). Location is Maryland

Ohhhhhhhhhhh really cool find! Not one I’ve had submitted before. It’s a male arrow-shaped orbweaver, Micrathena sagittata. Females look like this:

This spider (Micrathena sagittata) that's found in Indiana looks like Eddie's guitar!

So I just wanted to say that I love the hc that Chrissy is a bug girl. She loves creepy crawlies!

Eddie's black widow tatt is her favourite of his and she quietly admits to him that as a kid she used to try and collect spiders so she could look closer at them. She confesses she's always wanted a terrarium. Eddie thinks this is completely batshit wonderful and vows to tell her about every cool bug he sees from then through eternity.

And then Chrissy shows him this spider bc it reminds her of his sweetheart. Eddie is deeply in love. They're cooing over this thing like it's a newborn as it crawls over Chrissy's knuckles. Eddie can tell she wants to keep it. Eddie also knows her mother would never let her.

He offers to keep it at his place. So then Eddie Munson has this teeny tiny cool spider in a lovingly kept terrarium on his bedside table. Eddie plays it metal on its namesake and educates it in all the musical greats. Chrissy comes over and says things like hi, beautiful! and who's a good girl? to it.

Eddie's obsessed. He even gets a little tatt of it, below the black widow... right above his heart.

Arrow-shaped micrathena (Micrathena sagittata). One of my favorite local spiders, and only the third one I've ever found. The first one was in too shady a spot to get good pics, and the second I didn't have my macro lens with me.

The arrow shaped orb weaver spider (Micrathena sagittata) is native to where you are, and its abdomen resembles Pikachu. The Hawaiian happy face spider (Theridion grallator) sometimes has a smiley face pattern.

"Native to where you are" I've never seen that spider before and I'm thankful

Also creepy but I appreciate the positive attitude, I suppose X"D

This is what greets you outside your back door when you live in the woods... but it’s not that bad! He is only 1/2 an inch small, plus he looks heck’n cool! Very chill, let me get real close to get this picture.

Why This Spider Has a Cartoonish Butt

Pokémon may not be real, but this spider could be the next best thing.

While conducting research in the jungles of Honduras, National Geographic explorer Jonathan Kolby stumbled across the closest nature has ever come to creating the cartoon's beloved Pikachu.

On the rear abdomen of the arrow-shaped micrathena, Micrathena sagittata, is a bright yellow marking with two long rear spikes that end with black tips. Slightly more menacing than the mild-mannered cartoon is another row of spikes, at the bottom of the Pikachu-like structure. The rest of the spider's body is a bright reddish color, almost resembling an ant.
