 Spiders
Dr Abe V Rotor


Web spider (Class Arachnida) waits for prey


Arachne was jealous of your art, 
strung with pearls at sunrise
that snare the unwary of any size,
kin or foe, and nothing apart.



Brooding spider with egg mass. Class Arachnida


She protects her brood before the tempest,   
shepherds her tiny ones from the nest; 
ask Charles Darwin the explanation, 
and Robert Bruce a living lesson. ~
