Gasteracantha Arcuata

Or the curved spiny spider

This creature is a master assassin in the mechanical world, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. Their eyes aren't the usual telescopic sockets, but dark orbs that detect infra red (heat detection). The wires hanging from the abdomen are used to fashion their webs, and the spines at the back move around to defend itself from stronger insects such as the mantis or other spiders.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this in Indian Ink again, so I improvised and did it in red Biro. And I think it came out pretty well!

Thanks again for looking at my work, comments are always welcome
