But my favorite spider faces are those of wolf spiders. Evil, frightening and just plain f-ucking cool as hell!




Like something straight of out Lovecraft.


No, that's not evil at all!




The wolf spider's eye array has two up top pointing upwards, always scanning overhead. Then there are two large ones in the middle to see forward and these are the most developed eyes. Then four eyes pointing downwards at different angles to scan the ground. Creepy-looking perhaps but highly effective for survival.


Spiders are also natural cannibals and will not hesitate to eat one another with as much gusto as they eat insects. Some spiders even specialize in catching other spiders. Spiders are, in fact, as much the hunted as they are the hunter. Birds, snakes, frogs, bats, mantises, wasps, scorpions, lizards and, yes, people find them quite a delicacy. They reportedly taste like crab which makes sense since they are distant relatives.




I've still seen people uglier than this.


Man, that's just straight out of nightmare.
