The Strangest Spiders Ever

A mirror spider? These macro shots of spiders were photographed by Nicky Bay who lives and works in Singapore. The endless biodiversity found on the country’s 64 islands includes a vast array of insects and arachnids. Further images of these terrifying yet strangely beautiful creatures can be found on his Flickr account. Despite being terrifyingly creepy, the endless creativity of evolution to create such amazing creatures never ceases. The spiders featured above are:

1&2) Mirror Spiders
    3)  Long Horned Orb Weaver
    4)  Bird Dung Spider
    5)  Net-Casting Ogre-Face Spider
    6)  Eight Spotted Crab Spider
    7)  Ladybird Mimic Spider

The Mirror Spider has an abdomen of reflective panels that glitter like a disco ball, or the various colors of Ladybird Mimic Spiders that are almost indistinguishable from the insects they are camouflaged to look like. There’s also the more frightening Bird Dung Spider that looks like no known living creature. The Net-Casting Ogre-Face Spider definitely deserves his name, but he looks like he’s knitting. How dangerous can a spider that knits be?

Mirror Spiders. Why didn’t I make them up?
