Here’s a better picture of those cars, they’re in Wolf Creek, Oregon way down south. And here’s where I found the pic! (more pictures in that link too)

“A local land owner has taken a VW Beetle and a Karmann Ghia as the head-abdomen of a spider and given them spider legs made from girders. They are mounted in a field facing the frontage road.”

I know it’s from Thailand because the site it led me to was in Thai, along with another picture.

It’s a jumping spider, I know that much. 

Fucking ridiculous, this is a beautiful creature. Shame on anyone who says spiders are ugly.

this looks like one of the spiders from my dreams! though in my dreams, they’re fist sized and don’t mind handling :D

The Peacock spider or Gliding spider (Maratus volans) is a species of jumping spider.

Octavius Pickard-Cambridge noted in his original description that “it is difficult to describe adequately the great beauty of the colouring of this spider”.

The red, blue and black colored males have flap-like extensions of the abdomen with white hairs that can be folded down. They are used for display during mating: the male raises his abdomen, then expands and raises the flaps so that the abdomen forms a white-fringed, circular field of color. The species, and indeed the whole genus Maratus have been compared to peacocks in this respect. The third pair of legs is also raised for display, showing a brush of black hairs and white tips. While approaching the female, the male will vibrate his abdomen while waving raised legs and tail, and dance from side to side.^[1]

Both sexes reach about 5 mm in body length. Females and immatures of both sexes are brown but have colour patterns by which they can be distinguished from related species. [ read more ]

Net Casting Spider (Deinopis sp.)

The net casting spider is named for its strange hunting behavior.

The spider creates a net made of sticky coils of silk and suspends it between its front legs, while dangling above a surface. When prey passes under it, the spider propels itself forward, casting its net over the prey and trapping it in the silk.
