Illustration Friday - topic: INSECT
Phewww! Got to this one just in time! Although, I'm not sure if a spider is really an "insect", but rather an arachnid... which is kinda an insect. Oh whatever. They're all bugs to me.

Too many legs and not enough body sections. It's an arachnid.

Great picture. I'm not sure if I could get close enough to take one.

Zoom?

It did make me nervous getting so close. I had my macro lens on and was up close and personal with it. Its a wolf spider, by the way. Very hairy. Lots of eyes. Mean looking. Big teethy pincher things. Did I mention how HAIRY it was?

Eeeek! I think it emphasizes how our fears can be blown out of proportion - very nice!

I love the message this gives me...I see the huge shadow of the small spider and I think of how we make things out to be bigger or worse that they really are! Even if I'm way off, it's such a great image. Good one!

Well it seems that y'all are getting what I was thinking when I made this. Yes, its the illusion of things being bigger than they really are!

Does anybody like spiders??? I think the hairless ones with the big round body and longggg skinny legs are creepier than the short fat hairy ones. One thing for sure, I like the fact that they eat all the other bugs we dont want around. Thats a big brownie point for them.

LOVE it!!

Um, I love spiders. I did my 8th grade science project on them. Had jars of them for display....

Only spider I DON'T like is the black widow, they get sent to little arachnid heaven here.
