The Happy Face Spider
This is a new one to me, its official name is Theridion grallator, but how can you avoid thinking of it as the happy face spider.
It is under-threat of extinction in the rainforests of the Hawaiian island chain in the Pacific.
Dr Geoff Oxford, a spider expert from the University of York, said: "I must admit when I turned over the first leaf and saw one it certainly brought a smile to my face.
"There are various theories as to why the spider has developed the markings it has, one of these that it may be to confuse predators." Telegraph - How About That
