What kind of spider is Charlotte in Charlotte's web?

Answer 1

Charlotte of Charlotte's Web was a pretty Araneus Carticus spider, also known as a barn spider. She befriended the pig, Wilbur, who was saved by Fern Arable from an untimely death. Fern's father, Mr John Arable, wanted to kill Wilbur as he was a runt. Instead, Mr Arable sold Wilbur to the Zuckerman's farm because the Arable family lacked resources to feed Wilbur when he was starting to eat scraps of foodstuff. In the end, Charlotte followed Wilbur to the fair. At the same time, the poor Charlotte was pregnant. She entrusted Wilbur with her egg sac after she gave birth. A few minutes later, she died. He carried Charlotte's egg sac home and the next day, the baby Spiders ballooned away. "We'll go wherever the wind brings us, balloonists." they said. Only 3 spiders liked Wilbur and decided to stay in the barn. The oldest was Joy, followed by Aranea. Nellie was the youngest among them. Though Wilbur had them, they could never replace Charlotte in Wilbur's heart. The good friend and the best writer. He would never forget Charlotte.
