Ome of these things is not like the others... 🕷️

Although actually, they do construct elaborate traps, help the world in unexpected ways, and cause mass panic. Maybe they ARE fey.

That looks to be some type of velvet worm.

I'm so glad my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth (the pink and yellow one with a mullet) was in this picture.

Lots of pink and teal and spots and sparkles….then that brownish spider. Spiders are awesome, but that one feels a little more redcap fey than tinkerbell fairy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's Malificent. Technically, also a fairy.
