In addition to [[8]] - [[Red spiders]], Red spiders also appear in comic [[42]] - [[Red Spiders 2]] and [[126]] - [[Red Spiders Cometh]] and are referenced in [[77]] - [[Counter-Red Spiders]] [[User:J-beda|J-beda]] ([[User talk:J-beda|talk]]) 01:51, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

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)

Sadly, mites are also 8-legged, so the below two comments aren't totally correct. [[User:ClashTheBunny|ClashTheBunny]] ([[User talk:ClashTheBunny|talk]]) 15:15, 31 January 2015 (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)
