Do you see what I see?

Looking over my spider photos tonight, trying to identify anatomical features, I noticed something not in BugGuide's diagrams. This one:


and several others like her, have a human-like figure depicted on the underbelly.

Here it is, up close:


Monk with goggles and white gloves?

Here's another:


Gladys the cross-eyed bear, wearing those same white gloves?

What do you see? (If you don't see anything, try stepping back from the screen; for me, the face resolves itself better from half-way across the room.)

  2. The "head" puts me in mind of the monster from 1959 Z-grade movie The Wasp Woman.

  3. Jamon & Christopher;

    From one extreme (cute!) to the other. You guys have fertile imaginations!

    And Jamon, yes, you win. But so does Christopher.

  4. You're welcome, Island.

    So, that makes 2 votes for aliens, and one for ... what would you call a Wasp Woman? .. a mutant?

    Now, the question is, are the spiders designed or seeded by aliens, and we've just discovered the trademark?

    :)

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
