Spiders are a common animal in our daily lives. However, a few days ago, Mr. Zhou, who lives in Huqiu, Anhui, discovered that a spider had been shot down on the cherry tree at his doorstep. When he looked at the picture magnified, it looked exactly like a human face.

This spider is what Mr. Zhou called the 'human-faced spider'. When the picture was magnified, you could see that its head and abdomen had patterns similar to a human face, and its length was about 7 to 8 millimeters.

Mr. Zhou said that he had never seen such a 'human-faced spider' in his rural area, nor did he know if it had any research value, so he took the spider from the tree.

The reporter observed that this spider was not like an ordinary spider, but like a crab, it could walk sideways when picked up, and when it was picked up, there would be silk at the tail, but it did not weave a web. Mr. Zhou's cherry tree at his doorstep was just planted this year, and the spider had been lying on the leaves.

Anhui Agricultural University Plant Protection College Professor Jiang Junqi told reporters that the spiders we usually see are generally mostly black, and their body shape is more than 10 millimeters, while the 'human-faced spider' has its head and thorax divided into two parts, the head and thorax bulge, and the color tone is green and yellow. The size of the body is generally 6 to 7 millimeters.
