I know, I know … a lot of you are creeped out by spiders. I’ve been known to show some symptoms of arachnophobia myself, mostly as a result of walking directly into giant nocturnal webs spun by tropical orb weavers. The spider makes a new one every night, and not always in the same place. (The good news is if this happens to you, the spider’s escape plan is to drop to the ground and run away. Quit flailing around and it will do exactly that.)
However, this is an entirely different sort of spider here. It even has a nicer name: The flower crab spider. Yes, it still has eight bristly legs and eight unblinking eyes and a pair of sharp chelicerae (kel-ISS-er-ee, which most people call fangs).
But you’re never going to stumble into its web in the dark, because it doesn’t make them. In fact, unless you go specifically looking for it, you’ll probably never see one in your entire life…
