Arthropods, for instance, can be stunning — even the dangerous ones, such as the black widow spider, are possessed of beauty … and though Lovecraft appeared to have a lovehate relationship with cephalopods, I think even he would have been moved by the ethereal delicacy of this glassine specimen.
(He just wouldn’t have been able to write a passably good poem on the subject.)
