Courtesy Pattern : CP63 - An 8 Legged Little Nope

My daughter has a love of nearly all creatures, INCLUDING 'nopes'. 
For those who are unfamiliar with the term Nope in relation to a creature.. there are quite a few....

a Fuzzy Flying Nope - is a honey bee
there's the Fluffy Fat Nope - a bumble bee..

But a NOPE can be any bug really!!  Why call it a nope?.. well, because when you go to reach for something and you see a certain bug(s) in the general area - most people yank their hand back and say "nope!"

And then there are, 'cute' little nopes...  like this guy who wants to help celebrate Halloween with you this year!
