happy face spider even if you don’t like spiders one
look at the happy face spider might just have you
smiling these smiley spiders are native to Hawaii
mostly Maui and they are known for their smiling
appearance the spiders are tiny at only 0.2 inches
long and they only come out at night they don’t
really have any predators but they are on the verge
of extinction, each spider actually has its own specific
pattern and the background color of the pattern
changes depending on what they eat this has led
some scientists believe that the spiders strange
happy face pattern is for camouflage other scientists
though argue that it has no real purpose in any case
this happy spider has become the poster child for
threatened species in Hawaii

has only been seen a handful of times in the wild it is
a relatively large spider with an average size of
anywhere between one to three inches in fact it is
the largest of all crab spiders but unlike
other spiders the eight spotted crab does not weave a
web rather it simply waits for its prey to wander by and
then attacks it is named for its eight colorful spots and
if you’re counting the eighth spot is found on its abdomen
