These are pretty cool. I know some people have a thing about them, but the earlier spiders are beautiful enough that they don't cause the tingly-feet feeling.

I love the flat one with the extra two cerci. I wonder what their purpose is in its everyday life. Second favorite is the Nephila maculata. It just looks neat, and I like its hooked legs. Huge color contrast to the body.

Creepy and a half. Even though it will most likely give me nightmares, that was a really interesting read.

That creeped me out so bad I couldn't look at them all.

The second one (subphylum: little red blob) would definitely be all the other arthropods' bitch.

For those of you who can't stand spiders there was also a butterfly link (http://www.richard-seaman.com/Insects/Vietnam/Butterflies/index.html#RedBaseJezebel) on that page. But if you ask me that was a lot less interesting.

Those are some creepy ass spiders though...

Humans are so funny. Amazing how looks really do control our reactions to stuff. Yah they freak me out, too.
