Should've used a bunny harvestman instead to the spider

Things looks a chocolate covered horror.

I mean, they are harmless and don't produce any venom...

But...

I'm so glad my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth (the pink and yellow one with a mullet) was in this picture.

Ome of these things is not like the others... 🕷️

Although actually, they do construct elaborate traps, help the world in unexpected ways, and cause mass panic. Maybe they ARE fey.

Any idea what is the species in the upper right corner? It is super cute!!!

You can read up on them, and see some nice photos here on mander.... they're really interesting creatures!

Ah thanks!! :)

It's Malificent. Technically, also a fairy.
