Think of it as an early "Trick or Treat"
Ok, seeing as we are in the month of October and mere weeks away from Halloween, a story about spiders seems timely.
Plus, this thing just gave me the heebie-jeebies and I wanted to pass the feeling on.
From the wonderful National Geographic News...
Scientists have discovered a spider in East Africa with a craving for human blood.
Apparently, this spider hunts down mosquitoes that have recently fed on humans...and when I say "hunt down," I mean hunt down. It's a jumping spider and stalks its prey, none of this silly web stuff for him!
That just gives me the creeps! AND it gets worse when you see the little guy's picture...*shudder*
Ick. Just gross. Ick. Here's the link for the whole article:

Thank you, Anna, for a delightful conversation piece that I will never be able to use without getting weird glances. The spider looks fearsome in the picture, doesn't he? As if he might really jump on you and begin drinking your blood at any moment.
