Happy #SaveASpiderDay!

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: “THE VERY BUSY SPIDER by Eric Carle, 1984 Carle's graphic design background and the perspective that he brought to book design led him to create features such as the raised spider web in The Very Busy Spider, a tactile quality that would be a pleasing addition to readers of all ages. According to Carle, The Very Busy Spider is about work. "We need to work and finish our tasks despite the many diversions," he wrote.”

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.

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.

Bathroom friend must have known that it was #SaveASpiderDay, and is now basement friend #spider
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.

photo of the entire garment spread out and mounted on display
closeup of the giant spider design
gallery label: 璃寬茶縮緬地蜘蛛模様男物長襦袢 Man's Under Kimono (Nagajuban) with Spider and Spiderweb Taisho (1912-26) or Showa (1926-89) period, 1920s-30s Crepe silk (chirimen) with freehand paste-resist dyeing (yüzen) Promised Gift of John C. Weber Worn under an outer garment or at home, the nagajuban frequently bore eye-catching designs that would be seen only by family and friends. The large spider perched on the right shoulder of the crepe silk robe, whose back is covered with a web against gray clouds, exemplifies such a decoration. The pattern could be a reference to Tsuchigumo, a monstrous, shape-shifting spider featured in Japanese myths and legends as well as in Noh and Kabuki plays. The dramatic, supernatural subject was also featured in ukiyo-e prints, which might have inspired this nagajuban's composition.
For #SaveASpiderDay:
Man's Under Kimono (Nagajuban) with #Spider & Spiderweb, Japan, 1920s-30s
The giant spider design invokes the Yōkai Tsuchigumo (see label) 🕷️🕸️
It was definitely one of the highlights of the Met’s Kimono Style exhibition!
