Ok, but look at that derpy face of the twig spider (Poltys columnaris)!!

And that tall butt situation!

What a unique looking lil guy, wow! I am terrified of spiders except for the jumpers (fat stubby legs so cute), and apparently this guy! It looks so different from any spider I've seen before. Very neat.

(Except the twigs, and one ant, these are jumping spiders.)

Humans too ...
(Poor bastards have to mimic going to work & enrich shareholder value. Jeff still doesn't know I'm the one leaving him lil bags of flies as office snacks.)

Then again, other things mimic spiders too, like this froghopper.
