World's Prettiest Tarantula Takes Best in Show 2014

A Socotra Island Blue Baboon spider took top honors at the 29th annual exhibition of the British Tarantula Society.

I'd shoot the pluddermucker with my gnu nug. Yes I would. Look at the target on his abdomen.

That's not a spider. It has 10 legs.

The palpus (or palps or pedipalps) can be very leg-like on a spider, but they're actually considered mouthparts, and are often used like arms to grab food, or for mating.

No. Those are clearly legs. Look at them.

;)

Actually, those things are what they use to help scoop in your soul as they crawl across your face at night.

Saying that a spider has 10 legs is probably like saying that a man has a third leg after seeing him in a locker room.

Hey, leave me out of this. :haha:

Read an article once about this is so common--parasites controlling host behavior for their reproductive purposes (sometimes passing through several host species in an ecosystem, as they xenomorph through different stages of their life cycle)--that if we knew how much this takes place we'd consider parasites the dominant life form.
