I found a nice big orange spider last night. Halloween is coming!
Orange Marbled Orbweaver (Araneus marmoreus)
That’s no jack-o-lantern, that’s a spider butt!

A very adorable spider butt. Almost as cute as a bumblebee butt.
@ ^ angoratrilobite : .. & much silkier!
Oh and is that how Orb weabvers get their common name?
The one’s I’m familiar with aren’t as orb or palantir or earth shaped.. & their webs certainly aren’t round so?
Anyhow that’s one very cool pumpkin-and ash coloured arachnid.
That would be an interesting Jack-o-Lantern pattern to carve, and then explain to all the kids that come by. For an ambitious artist it could be mounted on a turntable to expose the legs and rest of the spider for added frights.
That’s no moon…
