** The later chapter sketches published on Pixiv Fanbox have no major changes in the chapters themselves, including the aforementioned chapter 18, but there are different versions of chapter covers and some artwork such as one that shows Sasori was envisioned with a messier hairstyle than she has in the story proper. One of the volumes includes a Hanakamakiri sketch even though he never appears in the story, and another includes a Dinoponera sketch that conspicuously specifies her, and only her, sex with a ♀ as if implying she had a male counterpart at some point.

* InvisibleAdvertising: ''Arachnid'' stands out as one of the Gangan JOKER series that have been there since the beginning but never got a cover page on the magazine (only ''Blattodea'' got one for its launch), an anime adaptation or much advertising in general. Even the official English translation for the Manga UP! app in 2022 just quietly popped up in there.

* CreatorCouple: The ''Manga/{{Watamote}}'' parody omake about Geji is drawn by Murata's wife Sato (''Manga/{{Fragtime}}'', ''Manga/LivingDead''), who also wrote the omake about a young Dinoponera in volume 11. They married around the time Geji was introduced in the series, and Murata, who seemed really into ''Watamote'' at the time, made the character share her anniversary date with Sato.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: In one volume afterword, Murata jokes about Kabutomushi's introduction and motivations adding an element of FridgeLogic to the story -- Kumo hired her to take care of Alice so that it doesn't look like he abandoned Alice to fight off the Organization alone, but then Kabutomushi took a long time to meet Alice for no explained reason despite taking the task seriously. It is also hard to tell if the identity of the Boss was planned out from the beginning, as one OnceMoreWithClarity flashback has the characters involved with reversed dialogue in a way that doesn't make sense in hindsight. Kabutomushi eventually [[spoiler:killing the Boss]] ''did'' have long-term foreshadowing, though. In [[https://magazine.jp.square-enix.com/event/2103zadankai/ a 2021 interview]], he admitted to writing ''Blattodea'' on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
