I can’t draw, but decided to give it a go anyway.

For the first comic in my life, I think it went pretty well.

I’m so glad that spider’s living its best life even while being crippled

I wonder if spiders put webs in front of windows to catch bugs that fly towards the light, or if they put webs all over a building and we only see the ones near the windows?

Cute comic!

I’m petty sure, they place webs wherever people walk.

Cute comic!

Thanks, glad you liked it.

That’s a female Argiope aurantia. Found from Colombia to Canada. Fairly chill, they only bite big animals when hurt, and even then the bite is less concerning than a bee sting. If you’re lucky you might even see a brown egg sac nearby.

Just don’t grow attached to her to the point that you give her a name, those spiders are short-lived. RIP my pet Argiope argentata Kumoko (;_;)7

Edit: I think it was one of these:

I am a weird boy. I like letting bugs crawl on me and run from hand to hand.

With the notable exception of the times when those spiders decide that now, after they’ve been picked up, would be a good time to start spinning a web.
