Imelda sidled along the gossamer strands of her latest creation, lifted two of her front forelegs to ten and two, and much like a bandleader summoning the start of his orchestra, captivated the complete attention of her arthropod audience. 

“This is definitely one of my favourites,” she began, as she extended two additional hirsute, tendril like legs in each direction. “I call it, Lucifer’s Labyrinth.

She continued with a short recitation highlighting her inspirations for the piece, the time and cost involved in executing it, and then invited all of us, insect and arachnid alike, aboard for a closer look.
