Hmm... The termite mimic creature I shared yesterday for #GoblinWeek was not popular ... Can't imagine why. To make it up to you I have two creatures today, each named "goblin."
Goblin spiders (family Oonopidae) are tiny little guys with somewhere between 0 and 6 eyes, depending on the species. They are frequently found in fossilized amber.
Goblin roaches (Paratemnopteryx couloniana) seem to have been named that by the people who raise them as feeder insects. Like most feeder bugs, they're pretty easy going and cannot fly, though they might get a little jumpy.

Today for #Arachtober I present a Colorado brown tarantula, Aphonopelma ????, that I painted for #Invertober last year. The question marks are there because there's lots of debate on whether Colorado has its own unique species (or three or more) of brown tarantulas or whether they're all just subspecies of A. hentzi, the Texas/Missouri/Oklahoma brown tarantula (depending on who you ask).
Taxonomy is hard!
Okay, I'll bite (ha!). I have a couple things to contribute to #Arachtober. Today, it's this comic I made for #Invertober a couple years ago. Pink Crab Spider party!
Back in 2020 I went super hard on the #HazbinHotel fanart ahaha. Molly was so cute
