That is trippy all right!  Kinda cute, in a weird, grotesque sort of way...

Amen!

The first 2 never heard of or have seen anything like it in a spider. Hopefully there's more info around. The last one I have heard of and have seen pictures but that doesn't stop me from being amazed.

This is another reason why I love insects and spiders. I thank you so much for sharing these. I also have replied to the 2 threads you posted. I'm off ( after I get some sleep ) to find more info on these guys.

Wish me luck! Can't wait to post these on my blog.
