The Spider And The Swan

Svanen, 1914 - Hilma af Klint Spinnerets clutched,holding her pearls,a huntress, mother,camouflaged, waitingeight eyes, a pair of foursdealt face-up in the dust. She stretches the skyfrom sunset to Olympus.Behold Cygnus in white,feather-gilded majesty,queen of the stars,holding a pair of kings.Between furrow and firmament,between pearl and feather,the age-old gamblea mother waging a betfor a better tomorrowFor Today's Dverse, Mish is having us write a poem contrasting 2 of several images.

Hobonichi art 19.
Wolfie the wolf spider. I found it about a year ago and kept it because winter was coming. Poor thing was missing two legs and a half but it got by just fine 🤎

From 2025

A very cool wolf spider, just quietly moving around on moss. Allowed enough time for a decent picture (with an android phone)
Set on a typical gneiss'ish rock infused with hard white quartz crystals.

Opened up one of the wolf spider enclosures to find that it has made an impressive burrow sometime over the week. Must be finally feeling at home. #wolfspider #lycosidae #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon

My brother in law told me how to spot a #wolfspider at night and bloody hell, the world (where we are staying tonight...) is nothing but #wolfSpiders and sand.

Redecorated a classroom terrarium this afternoon. Some of the materials I had originally planned on using didn't work out, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The wolf spider seems happy with it though 🤷‍♂️. #terrarium #terrariumplants #wolfspider #lycosidae #spiders #spidersofmastodon #SpidersOfTheFediverse

Rehoused one of the wolf spiders into a more natural enclosure. This is one of the spiders that was found in my school building, but it was already too chilly to relocate him back outside. #spiders #spidersofmastodon #wolfspider #lycosidae #hognacarolinensis

Alopecosa barbipes Klitkæmpejæger
No common name in english

Last day of Arachtober, and it ends with another favourite from my aunt and uncle's garden.
A. barbipes, while not rare in Denmark as such, is not found in my neck of the woods. They prefer areas with sparse vegetation, short turf, and lichen heath.
