Did you know that Hawaii is the endangered species capital of the world? 1/3 of the species on the endagered species list are in Hawaii.

Who's afraid of a spider that smiles at you? La! La! La!

No this wasn't photoshopped. It's a Hawaiian Happy Face Spider!

They were discovered in 1973. I didn't see any on my trip last year to Hawaii. I think they're rather shy. Tee hee!
They're tiny, a quarter inch, nocturnal, varied markings, and endangered.

They are featured in a new beautiful book of photographs called the Remains of the Rainbow--Rare Plants and Animals of Hawai'i by David Liittschwager and Susan Middleton. (I got to drool over the book, but alas, $65 is an extravagant cost when struggling to pay the rent!) It also has pictures of species new to science or believed extinct.
