Assassin Spider Discovered in Madagascar

Posted by Stacy in Everything Else on December 14, 2008 at 7:02 pm


I’m not particularly scared of bugs or spiders, but this thing gives me the heebie jeebies. Assassin spiders have really long necks, so they can attack from a distance, which they do by impaling their prey with the barbed ends of their jaws. Creepy. Sounds like a total horror movie to me, but at two millimeters long, they are completely harmless to humans.

    Good God! It looks like a miniature and creepier version of a Praying Mantis fused with a Giraffe!
