Default Happy face spider ... weird



Not really sure how I feel about this one .... it's slightly surreal, lol.

AND ..... just so you know where it's found ...

Found only on the islands of Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii, the happy face spider, such as this one guarding its eggs on a leaf in Maui, is known for the unique patterns that decorate its pale abdomen. Scientists believe Theridion grallator may have developed its distinctive markings to discourage birds from eating it.

I HATE SPIDERS-Happy or otherwise, so I must remember NOT to go to these places you mention.
