  Howdy there!
     Well, I suppose the subject pretty much explains it all.  Anyone have 
  any pictures of a spider and/or a mantis, preferably of a nice 
  could-be-put-in-a-sig length?  My roommate has burned out trying to 
  produce one.  Not that he's going to rip yours off or anything, but he 
  needs ideas.  At least that's his claim...

Well, here's a spider that I drew:
  ((((
 ( )(:[
  ((((

Now let's see if I can come up with a mantis...
      ..
     ( =/X\
    ,' )'
   / ,'
  /,\\
 '/ //

Hmm...I dunno...the basic idea is there, but I haven't looked at a mantis in a
while...this might end up being a group project, like Pooh was on alt.ascii-
art...

Here's a bird that came to be while I was trying to turn the mantis into a T
Rex...the T Rex looked even worse than the mantis!

Umm...  I always liked: *
but depending on the machine, you get a 5 or six leg 'spider'.

Dunno, pretty difficult at this size..
