Carle played with scale, shrinking the children down to critter-size—or, more aptly, blowing up animals to kid-size. A moth, frog, spider, and three bats glow against a dark, black background.” photo of gallery label: “Eric Carle (1929-2021) "Where are you?' 'Look, a door." Watch Out!

Spiders are swell and spiderwebs are amazing. Even the web some lovely spider wove outside my garden door, forcing me to duck under the web so I wouldn’t damage it.

Because spiders are so cool, I like to make spider-themed jewelry, including this sterling silver pendant.

🕷️💚 Save a Spider Day 💚🕷️

Why would a cleaning company post about saving spiders?

Spiders are some of nature’s best pest control, without chemicals!

Clean homes and respect for nature. (Plus… this one's pretty cute! 🕷️😊)

This is a three-panel comic featuring a cartoon spider and a person with a flip-flop. 1. In the first panel, a small, fluffy-looking spider with big eyes is sitting on a flat surface. A speech bubble from an unseen person exclaims, **"A SPIDER!!"** in bold, jagged text. 2. In the second panel, a hand tightly grips a purple flip-flop, raised in the air. The speech bubble reads, **"I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU DESERVE!!"**, suggesting an intent to squash the spider. 3. In the final panel, instead of harming the spider, the person gently uses the flip-flop to transport it outside onto the grass, where other small spiders are visible. A speech bubble above the hand reads, **"YOU DESERVE TO LIVE..."** The comic carries a compassionate message about choosing kindness towards all creatures. The artist's handle, **@vegan.frank**, is in the bottom right corner.

Fun fact. Wolf spiders will hunt and eat brown recluse spiders (also known as fiddlebacks), in addition to venomous black widow spiders, cockroaches, crickets, beetles and silverfish.
Please don't squish them.
