Say hello to the happy face spider (Theridion grallator). They are native--surprise, surprise--to several of the Hawaiian islands. They call it the nananana makakiʻi. So, if you find yourself suffering from the holiday blues, just think of this happy mother. If she can find happiness, so can you.
Thanks for the photo, Danielle.

I thought it was fake at first... hey, she has two smiley's! And the smaller one has a dunce cap!
ReplyDeleteAwww! If there weren't so many people terrified of spiders, I could see this on Cute Overload. But I've heard that CO has a strict no-spider policy... =(
ReplyDeleteWell.. it's perfect for Adorabugs!
ReplyDeleteThe eyebrows crack me up!
it's not a happy smile, it's a diabolical, EVIL smile.
ReplyDeleteI wish my butt was that happy!!!
ReplyDeleteerin- Yeah. They won't allow spiders on. I've sent them some very cute ones and they flat out insulted me for finding them cute. That's why I won't go to the site anymore.
ReplyDeleteThis spider is one of my all-time favorite creepy crawlies. That face is just too adorable!
I never thought I'd say it, but there's a spider that's CUTE.
ReplyDeleteI'm not afraid of them or anything (being the designated god-get-that-out-of-my-house-before-I-kill-it person in my home) but I don't exactly find them pretty...
