My favorite page of the Tony DiTerlizzi version of "The Spider and the Fly" was the illustration of the spider and fly at the entrance to the parlor. I liked this picture in particular because I thought that the warning signs for the fly to not go into the parlor were less obvious than other parts of the book‚ even though it was at the climax point of the fly making her decision to accepts the spider’s original offer or not. The subtle images in the picture are the butterfly wing curtains and the
