A little white spider spends her days daydreaming about flying off to meet her other half from her hanging flower pot. Wishing the same company as the butterflies, she makes leaf wings to take off but falls in to the abyss of the grass bellow. There, she will meet a peculiar butterfly and together they'll find a way out of the grass and discover much more.

This is my first fully animated short. It is a labor of love that I've been working on since August of 2017. I'm so happy I get to share this milestone in my life and my career with all of you.

The entire musical score was done by the amazing themusicreborn aka Ben Banas. He's a fellow freelance artist so please check out his content.

Watching this 5 years later, it’s still enough to make a grown man cry.

It's cute and all until you realise how horrifying flying spiders would be in real life.

AHHHH! I MISSED WATCHING THIS ANIMATION WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!!! THE NOSTALGIA, I LOVE THIS. Now that I’m older and been a Hazbin fan for a while now, The Spider does look like Angel Dust lmao.

I love how the spider-fly is unkowingly living her mothers dream of being a spider that's able to fly.

Everyone’s talking about how flying spiders would be scary, and I’m over here wondering if anyone realizes wasps exist…

It’s so beautiful. As a single person, it’s lonely and sometimes you need someone to make you feel comfortable with and who’s care. Ugh I feel so single just watching this 🥲
