Sea Spiders

In general, insects don't really bug me ("bug" me - ha ha ha!); but when I read this article, it kind of creeped me out. Naturally, I must share it with you: sea spiders are tiny multi-legged creatures that live on the bottom of the sea. They are in the arthropod family, so they are more or less related to insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. They don't spin webs, but they do prowl around the ocean floor, feeding on other smaller creatures.

The freakiest and largest varieties of sea spiders live in the Antartica region. Here are a few tasty examples:

Luckily, we have no plans to vacation there anytime soon.
