Not any more, surely? This is the happy face spider, from Hawaii. That's the good news.
The bad news is that it it's facing extinction. But then, aren't we all?

About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret

Wow that looks as though someone has painted it on. Does it bite?
ReplyDeleteOh, it's YOU! Thanks for visiting in your new persona! (As for biting, don't we all?)
DeleteI love him. He could be useful for my WIP, which features a girl obsessed with spider facts.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Frances.
My pleasure, Joanna!
DeleteHappy face or not, I honestly wouldn't want him (or her) crawling across my desk, or sitting in a ceiling corner above my bed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are no spiders in your house, Meike. With or without smiles!
DeleteThere aren't as many here as in my former flat (which was on the ground floor), but I do get the kind that has a tiny body and really long, thin legs. I know they are useful in keeping the mozzie population in check, but I still don't want them in my rooms...
DeleteAccording to my research (ha!) it doesn't seem to be poisonous, so its friendly face isn't trying to lure you in, and then kill you.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a weight off my mind, Maggie. Phew!
DeleteAaaargh - I don't even like looking at pictures of them, even if they are smiling x
ReplyDeleteTeresa, you're a wuss!
DeleteTrue - yes, Diane. But they're very, very small...
ReplyDeleteI like spiders, though I wouldn't want one crawling over me. That looks like a charicature of a spider!
ReplyDeleteRosemary, I suspect its real face is somewhere underneath. But what do I know?
