This captivating hand-colored copperplate engraving, from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), Weimar, 1805, offers a detailed study of the European garden spider, also known as the diadem spider (*Araneus diadematus*). The illustration explores anatomical features and behavioral traits, combining scientific accuracy with artistic beauty.

2. Figures 2-3: Illustrate the striking red variety of the spider, shown hanging from a silk line. The vibrant red markings and fine details emphasize the diversity within this species.
3. Figure 4: Provides a close-up view of the spider’s head, showcasing the mandibles and prominent eyes used for hunting and web construction.
4. Figure 5: Presents the silk spinnerets, revealing the intricate anatomy involved in spinning silk fibers. This fascinating aspect of spider biology is a testament to their evolutionary adaptability.
5. Figure 6: Displays detailed silk tubes, demonstrating how the spider produces and uses its web-building material.
