Artist's notes:

Black and Yellow Garden Spider pen and ink illustrationIllustrating spiders, scorpions and other arachnids can be a little challenging. The invertebrates themselves, not so much. In fact they are always a pleasure to draw, and their hard exoskeletons lend themselves well to the medium of pen and ink. The problem arises from the reaction to the, especially the spiders, that some people inevitably have. While I don't fear spiders and other arachnids -  and even admire and appreciate them - some shrink from the sight of them. But these are insects that are part of our world and environment, so I don't think that because some might find them grotesque, dangerous and unsightly they should be any less represented when I add illustrations to the image library. I'm not sure when I'll be drawing another spider or other arachnid, but if you'd like to suggest a species, please feel free to drop me an email.

Information about Arachnids:

Arachnids are a class of invertebrates of the phylum arthropoda. These include spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks and mites. They are characterized by having eight legs (most insects have six) a hard exoskeleton, and jointed legs used for walking, or creeping along a web. Also making them distinctive is that their body is divided into two segments - the head and thorax - rather than three like other insects. They do not have antennae. Nearly all living species are terrestrial but there are some marine and freshwater species. There are over 100,000 indentified types of arachnid. The largest extant arachnid is the Indian Scorpion 11.5 inches (29.2 cm) As there are thousands of undiscovered species, most likely the smallest would be a tick or mite. Many arachnids are dangerous to humans if bitten, but mostly they are benign animals that pose little threat to anything outside of the prey they hunt or catch in their webs.
