Not a spider fan at all but this little guy is just totally funky and fascinating!

That little guy is very COOL

Makes me think that the ceremonial masks of Tahiti and other Pacific islanders were modelled after this little guy.

Not a fan of creepy crawlers either, but this one is colourful.

I could not even watch it finished

I must admit Dave, the first time he threw his 'arms' up, I nearly jumped out of my skin but I persevered - it's absolutely fascinating! Mother Nature in all her glory.

WAY Cool spider!!!

Never heard or have seen one of those in my life even on TV or in a photo.

I'm with Avion...I'd love to have one.

AJ! Been waiting for you. I thought you'd like it. The write up on the clip states that there is no footage of this little fella not even in documentaries. He's just so beautiful.

It's too cool! Thanks for posting!

That is a gorgeous spider. I have never heard of it let alone seen a pic. Thanks for the post.
