Ogre-Faced Spider

Ogre-Faced Spider

The Ogre-Faced spider is not only a peculiar looking spider, but its behaviors are just as as strange as it looks. It has long slender legs and instead of spinning a web it spins a web between its front legs and throws it onto its prey like a net.


The Face of the Ogre-Faced Spider is frightening with two large eyes int he front and two smaller eyes on top. The spider also has night vision capabilities because its larger eyes are extremely sensitive to light.
