Check out the happyface spider! (from Hawaii)
Aside: did you know there is a species of vegetarian spider?
also: some species' queens and drones (of ants) can fly! Spiders sometimes fly, too...
-"Biologists have actually been studying what type of days spiders prefer to fly. Spiders don't have wings, but spiders do fly. They do it by casting out lines of silk thread that get picked up by wind currents. When enough thread is afloat the spider is lifted up and off it goes, often traveling miles through the air."
-There's also attus volans, a spider that has flaps on its abdomen that allows it to glide further when its jumps.
Kinda cool, eh?
