These sparkling little fellows are
called mirror, or sequined, spiders. Like all of the spider species of
the thwaitesia genus, their abdomens are covered with reflective silvery
patches that look just like tiny stained-glass sculptures or even
pieces of jewelry. Not much is known about them, but one thing is for
sure – these creatures belong to a unique species of spiders that will
probably confuse most arachnophobes.
Take a look at these stunning photographs of mirror spiders. Hopefully, they’ll prove just how beautiful spiders can be.
