Happy Face Spider.


I know, I know. I shouldn't put spiders up because half of you will get creeped out. But you can deal with it.
These might be a LITTLE familiar as they are on the side of a u-haul truck. They live in Hawaii and are obviously distinctive because of their 'smiley face' pattern on their abdomens.

Also, between the islands, individuals have specific themes of patterns depending on its island of origin. Each individual, however, has a specific pattern distinctive from all others.

  1. Fascinating.. and TERRIFYING. I scrolled down to get yesterday's AOTD and didn't expect to find a spider.. I think the fact this spider is smiling is very creepy.. Is it dangerous?

    Ugh.
