Thank you so much for your generosity! The blue spider is a Greenbottle blue tarantula native to Venezuela; it looks beautiful in the picture.😄

I absolutely love the little blue spider with peacock feathers! Favorite so far!

I generally don't like bugs, but some of these are quite cute!

TheBard

To many spiders ! 😱 ... but they look good, I like especially the Crab-Octopus-Spieder 👍

Yes, the idea was to play with the different species of spiders, which are scary but I think provide material for images.
