The most lifelike spider in the set stands square on a smooth rounded rock. Its abdomen is drawn as a large oval with four curved bands running across it, its front body is a separate smaller segment, and a pair of short fangs point down at the center of the face.

Eight legs spread out from the body, four on each side, and every one is broken into clear segments with a joint line between each. The front pair reach forward over the rock. The rear pairs angle back and out past the edges of it.

No eyes are drawn on the carapace, just the fangs and a curved line above them. That keeps the animal from looking cartoonish without giving it a face to be scared of.

The rock underneath is one large empty shape, the biggest single area on the page.

This suits a child who wants the real animal rather than a smiling one, and it is the strongest page here for a species project. Banded abdomen, segmented legs and visible fangs are all accurate enough to label. Brown and black is the expected scheme, though many tarantulas sit closer to rust orange.
