Isn't that funky??! It's called Cyclocosmia Ricketti. I've never seen anything like it, and it lives in some states in the US, like Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky. It uses the back of it's abdomen as a shield, it crawls into a hole and only it's butt sticks out.

I just thought it was really cool, so I thought I'd tell you all about it. I don't think I would mind having one, but they are very rare.

If any spider's bite can turn you into a super-hero, it's that one.

That pattern is definitely a demon gate seal......SHOOT IT!!!!

the back looks like a door knob.

*shrugs*

I just feel really uncomfortable looking at that. I hope I'm not the only pussy in this thread.

I hate spiders but that is kinda cool but still creepy 

that's amazing! never seen anything like it (hope i never do :p)

can it make web? it looks like it has no ass or something

No, I don't think it makes webs. It's a funnel spider, so it hides in a hole and waits for it's prey to come close and then BOOM it attacks.

i like these. it's their season now, and they are all over the place here. aren't they beautiful?

Thats a sexy ass
