The Long Winged Kite Spider

Before I start... 

SPIDER ALERT!!!


As this is the first in my series to find the weirdest animals on Earth, I thought I'd start small! I saw this spider on twitter and wanted to know more about him, so here goes! This is completely different to any spider I've seen in the UK and to be honest, I'm quite glad! It's normally found in forest regions in the tropics and subtropics, from Madagascar to Africa. Unlike many other species the male is a lot less colorful and is also smaller. The male also doesn't have the six sharp spines that the female does. You might also be glad to know that the venom isn't known to be dangerous to man!
