Welcome to the 19th year of Arachtober! Join us in celebrating arachnids by sharing your photos of #spiders, scorpions, and other #arachnids throughout the month. #Arachtober has spread around the web on different platforms, each with its own unique feel. Seeing the growing arachnid enthusiasm each year is fantastic! Interacting with arachnologists and other scientists has been educational and a lot of fun. For those who feel inspired to join us, if you haven’t already participated, just use the hashtag #Arachtober in your post.
For this year's banner, Ashley Bradford was inspired by my recent linocut artwork to create a digital piece in a similar style. We hope you enjoy it!
We’ve created a very basic site at Arachtober.com to help explain what this is all about, especially for those just discovering #Arachtober.
