The "cuboids" always reminded me of how I picture the "stars" in the Battle Room in ''Ender's Game'' -- mwburden [[Special:Contributions/70.91.188.49|70.91.188.49]] 22:45, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

The drawing is reminiscent of M.C.Escher style, isn't it ? [[Special:Contributions/37.160.7.233|37.160.7.233]] 19:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

But why *RED* spiders, or is there some reference that I am just too dense to fathom? [[Special:Contributions/68.115.52.179|68.115.52.179]] 06:33, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I came to this page to say there is an actual insect known colloquially as red spiders. Dad was telling me about how his azalea plants got something powdery on them which he took to the nursery for identification. The nursery guy freaked out and said it was a highly contagious mite infestation ('get that stuff away from here!'). Even though they are a mite they are sometimes known as red spiders. So I guess these 6-legged "spiders" are a thing. - loudwhitenoise [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.231|108.162.250.231]] 02:00, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Runescape has 6-legged "Deadly Red Spiders" (http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Deadly_red_spider) [[User:Danshoham|Mountain Hikes]] ([[User talk:Danshoham|talk]]) 22:39, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

The spiders in the upper centre of the drawing are cooperating to form a bridge between two cubes. This is behaviour more commonly seen in ants which ''are'' six-legged. Many species of ant are red. However, there are spiders that cooperate. Out of some 45,000 known species of spiders, 23 are known to be social (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_spider). One of the most studied social spiders is ''Anelosimus eximius'' which is a red spider (http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160122-meet-the-spiders-that-have-formed-armies-50000-strong). --[[User:David.poole.9000|DP9000]] ([[User talk:David.poole.9000|talk]]) 01:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
