Believe it or not, there is such a thing as spider humor.

A forensic entomologist has unveiled the happy, friendly side of spiders.

He calls them Happyface spiders.

A closeup of a Happyface spider!

Apparently, this unique species of spider can be found in Hawaii.

Its official name is: Theridion grallator.

These spiders very clearly have what looks like a smiley face on their backs!

Photos of Happyface spiders:

So, the next time you see a spider…

Don’t worry. Be happy. (Happy that you didn’t get bitten by a brown recluse spider!!!)

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” ideas that most wouldn’t think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
