Looks like a Rastafarian spider to me, mon!

Spiders are now being given My Little Pony names?


always amazed at what you find on the web ;)

*snorks* @ Steve-the24guy (SALUTATIONS, mon!) & Head_Smashed_In

But can they do the Macarena?

Rare species or no rare species, if I see it on my kitchen floor, it's getting whacked with a rolled-up magazine.

""The spinnerets were extended and flicked around at an amazing speed, one of the legs was flexed like he wanted to show off his muscles, and he moved constantly...."

You never know what new dating tips you'll find on the web.

Sparklemuffin's mating dance owes a lot to "Saturday Night Fever".

Try as they might, they're not getting any cuter.

Being bitten by a radioactive one of these will turn men into metrosexuals. NTTAWWT

I'm glad to see Carmen Miranda is still with us. She needs more fruit in the basket, though.

I like how it seems to be waving in a a friendly, "Hello! So glad to see you!" manner.
