My Wings of Fire fantribe (Part 1)

Tribe name: WebWings

Royalty: Queen Maratus, Prince Huntsman, Princesses Sicarius, Arachnid, and Tarantula

Territory: The mountains of Pantala

Kingdom description: Large webs span across the areas between mountains. They are layered far enough apart to walk, but not enough to fly. Cave systems inside the mountains are used as houses, schools, and a palace. The main outdoor area is referred to as The Webs, and it is like a marketplace and popular hang out.

Colors: Main scales are typically shades of brown or black, with web patterns on the underside of the wings. May have different color patterns covering the body.

Body type: Small torsos with long, thin legs and necks. Rounded wings. Four extra arms that are noticeably smaller.

Extra information: Heavily based on spiders. Silk glands can be on the tail or near the snout - if they are on the snout, the dragon has mandibles, I'd the glands are on the tail, the dragon will have spinnerets. All WebWings have venom, which is injected through biting. Either eight or six eyes, depending on the dragon. Omnivores with a strong preference for bugs. Early WebWings are said to have been cannibalistic.

An outline of a dragon with a front foot up, wings raised, and mouth open to display teeth. There's a pair of mandibles on the face, fangs outlined in bright green, a blue dot on the end of the tail, and two pairs of small, red arms between the front and back legs. The outline has eight eyes and web-like designs on the wings.

Dark black (on the face): Example of mandibles (not every dragon has these!)

Blue (tip of tail and behind mandible example): potential silk glands locations

Red (torso): small, extra limbs

Green (in mouth): venom fangs

(By the way, though I doubt anybody will want to use my WebWing design, if you do, please ask and credit me!)

I've been watching this web evolution for a couple of days without seeing the builder. And today, I finally was able to get a good look of it's owner. It is a black and yellow garden spider (scientific name Argiope aurantia) aka Silver Face.

It is said that these spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is harmless to non-allergic humans. Otherwise, equivalent to a bee sting.

Small spider web found at sunrise near the trail; but surprisingly well built.

A few weeks ago, I noticed there was a spider that kept building its web from my side mirror to just below where my window is and I kept trying to shoo it away because I didn’t want it to get hurt

But it never seemed to get the memo

But today—

A Few Weeks Ago, I Noticed There Was A Spider That Kept Building Its Web From My Side Mirror To Just

I learned why

Apparently, all the pugs at my work and at the park I run it I really dumb and like to swarm car windows so if you’re a little spider a side mirror is prime real estate

In Youth, One Looks To The Future. In Age, One Looks To The Past.

In youth, one looks to the future. In age, one looks to the past.

Have you ever seen a young chap of 23 commend a spider? I think not. His brain is not attuned to such things. But this old man understands the legacy of a tiny spider. And for this, we should be grateful.

Anthony Michael Simon does this by catching spiders, making them spin webs onto these clear poles and then he both highlighted and preserved them by spraying them with a neon colored coating.

I Noticed This Cool Spider Web On Someone's Hedges This Morning. I Assume The Bottom Spherical Thing

I noticed this cool spider web on someone's hedges this morning. I assume the bottom spherical thing is an egg sac, but I didn't know what the oblong bit was (for all I know it could have been a price of dried bird poop that got caught in the webbing). If anyone has any knowledge or guesses, let me know! Side note: I often take pictures of cool bugs, plants and (non-human) animals that I come across in my wandering about the city. I don't always know what they are, but I figure they're interesting enough to be worth sharing. I'll be collecting these posts under the tag "NYC nature walks", if that's of any use to anyone.
