The spiders air corps parachuting into Jamaica.   I guess they couldn't wait to get their Bob Marley Cocktail or a Jamaica Rum Cream.

Spitting Spider

Is the only spider that can shoot a web at its prey at speeds too fast for the human eye to see and the web actually has evolved to contract and tighten around its prey; rendering it immobile.

 

 

Jumping Spider with Boxing Gloves

Its pedipalps end in two bulbs which look like a pair of boxing gloves but are actually the male genitalia, from Ecuador.

I suspect this spider must belong to the NWA, the National Webshooters Association, so it can hunt without interference.

Not if those are his genitals, but is the spider or his genitals from Ecuador?

Scorpion-Tailed Spider

The scorpion-tailed spider is so named for the weird, elongated abdomen of the female, which may not sting like a scorpion, but can wiggle and curl around to presumably confuse its predators. You don't have to do the whole routine, honey, we were already confused enough.

 

 

 

Ravine Trapdoor Spider

Looking like its body was sliced off and tattooed with some kind of satanic gateway, Cyclocosmia truncata actually uses its manhole-cover backside like, well, a manhole cover, sealing off its burrow from potential predators.

You know we're dealing with one hardcore spider when its instinctive response to an attack is to present its ass.

It looks as if this spider is carrying a medieval mace around with him for protection.   The scorpions tail has a single stinger on the end, where this spider's tail appears to have multiple outgrowths.

It's Spider Mankini: The arachnid that looks like Borat

To me, this looks like a spider carrying a balloon head, possibly because it's throwing a party for its spiderlings.

A Pink Flower Crab Spider

 

 

Gandanameno Spider

Not only are some species nearly eusocial, female Velvet spiders exhibit a remarkable type of maternal care among arachnids. Upon the birth of her brood, the mother spider liquefies her internal organs and regurgitates this material as food. Once her capability to liquefy her insides is exhausted, the young sense this and consume the mother. Now that's the ultimate sacrifice!

This spider appears to have a moustache or is in a really bad mood.  I'm not sure which one, but it would probably fit nicely into a Gay Pride parade.

When I first looked at this spider, for some reason it reminded me of Mike Tyson or a black bulldog in a really bad mood.

Arachnophobia's Big Bob

 

In the movie Arachnophobia, they named the largest spider Big Bob, which was a bird-eating spider. They named it after Robert Zemeckis. Big Bob was adopted by a crew member named Jamie Hyneman, who went on to host Myth busters in the future. The little ones were controlled using a hairdryer and lemon pledge spray.

For some reason, when I saw this spider I immediately thought of Hawaii.  It looked as if it was covered in leis and flowers and I was waiting for it to do a hula.

Spider Soft Fishing Lure

WOW, THIS SPIDER LOOKS NATURAL!!! I recommend throwing the spider on a 7-foot plus rod, with a 30-40 lb braid to ensure a good hookset. THE SPIDER LOOKS AS GOOD AS ITS FISH It features a hollow body seedless design and walking legs that stride, glide, and twitch as the spider is worked across the water surface. The Spider features a self-righting ballast in its sternum to ensure a consistent natural action that aligns with the realism of the design. NATURALLY MOVING LEGS WEEDLESS HOLLOW BODY TOP
