MessageToEagle.com – A Lichen Crab spider is harmless to humans but its look can be a little frightening.
The spider has a human face on its back!
It is a very rare spider. Since 1890 only 41 one of them have ever been seen in Britain.
The Lichen Crab spider is very small, only 20 p piece, blends into lichen on tree trunks, hence their name and moves fast.
Wareham RSPB nature reserve worker Mark Singleton said: ‘This is the first one that has been found in Dorset in 35 years.
But it’s not, it’s a spider with a slightly amusing abdomen.
‘We found it in the electricity box a few feet from our work centre and got quite excited when we realized what it was.’
