Ticklike Spider 2

October 4, 2024.

In truth, I bought this spider last year, during the 2023 Halloween Season. It is another Target spider, and is evidently cut from the same cloth as the ticklike spider, which is one year its senior. Having yet to make my visit to the Halloween section, I am hoping the Ticklike-Spider lineage remains strong at Target this year.

This spider has the same small body as the original ticklike spider. How this spider differs from its brother is obviously its long, curling legs, which max out around 20 inches from toe to toe. The ticklike spider's pipe-cleaner legs are dwarfed by this spiders' thick, pliant limbs, all covered in the same soft, black fabric that covers its body. The legs each have two gray tufts on them, and all eight legs end in cute stumps. It is lightweight, but doesn't feel flimy, and can be easily posed to hang or crawl. I like this spider a lot, it is a nice evolution of the ticklike spider, while remaining just as charming and cute.
