I'm inexplicably enthralled with your plushies now. I really love how you've recreated this commonplace critter; I can just imagine him nestled on a flower-shaped pillow. I hope he has found a good home because he looks incredible! Your grantsmanship is seriously astounding.

We have these all around our house. My son is terrified of them even though they are so small. They are just so weird, like little ghosts. I wonder if having this would help him, or......probably not. It's amazing though, just like all your work.

Hi, I run the group #SpiderLovers and I was wondering if you might not be willing to submit this to our gallery? I think it would make a great addition, and I would really appreciate it!

How did you make the legs? Or are they just pipecleaners?

The legs are made of fleece fabric like the rest of it, long tubes that I turned inside out - I then put sturdy wire on the inside.

D'aww.
We get big yellow dudes in some flowers of the same color in our garden. Gotta be careful when smelling those... ._.

With some of the spiders they can change colour to match the flower, try moving one of yours to a red flower and see what happens.

Ooh. Now that I did not know. We'll have to try it. :D

There are hundreds of species of crab spider, only some change colour. It takes them a day or so to do it and you will have to stop them heading back to a yellow flower.

... Drat. Still a cool little infobit, though~. O:

OMG CRAB SPIDER! I love this lil guys, they are just sneaky and you can't tell where they are until they're nearly on top of ya! Great work. I love his body, it's so perfect.

Yes
but not a white one. I think more contrast would be better.
I've got a photo of one of these neatly wrapping up a bumble bee - underneath a nice pricklypurple thistle. I should upload it one of these days.

Sounds like a cool photo! I've always seen crab spiders on white flowers trying to blend in - they're sneaky.

I've just put a slightly blurred crab spider on a purple thistle in my scraps for you 
I've also uploaded another one that I think is a different sort of crab spider to my gallery, also seen hunting on a thistle [link]

How cool! It definitely sticks out on such a bright background, hehe.
And wow, that little one eating the bee sure is ambitious, looks like that meal would last it quite a while

The colour doesn't seem to bother them in my garden. I find them on my very dark purple buddleia flowers too.

Ooooh I want the spider so bad! I took a picture of one that looked just like it!

This might possibly appear in my etsy shop, depending on if other plans don't work out.

This is awesome! We have these in our garden only they have pink stripes instead of green. I saw one catch a fly once!

Thanks - I was thinking of making it with pink accents, maybe someday I'll make another!
