What's up friends?!
This is something really cool I stumbled upon today:
Looks like somebody was having fun with chatgpt. But no, this crazy wolf-headed spider thing is real ๐
Meet Metagryne bicolumnata, commonly known as the Bunny Harvestman.
It occurs in the Amazon rain forest of eastern Ecuador and as indicated by the common name, it is technically not a true spider.
As seen in the picture above, the species is best known for the two ear-like protrusions and bright yellow spots that look like eyes, making it somewhat of an internet sensation for some years now... Strangely, I first heard about it just today.
The species was first described in 1959 but since then there hasn't been much research on it so our knowledge about it is limited...Including the peculiar looks!
A theory is that it the shape and coloration might make it appear larger to predators but this is only a theory. We really don't know!
There's really not much not else to say about this a wolf headed arachnid.
Usually there aren't any videos for the strange animals I share here on my blog but luckily this one is an exception!
Enjoy:
Cute ๐ฅฐ In a creepy kinda way ๐ ๐
Sidenote, both vids are from the same guy. Give him a sub if you like creepy crawlers, he has some amazing content!
Ok frens! This is it for today, see you soon with more peculiar stuff from mother nature!

Great post and what an intriguing spider, kind of cute too.
A strage animal. The head looks like that of a rat :)
Cute! I bet its bark is worse than its bite!
If it has four pairs of legs then it is a spider. If its three pairs then an insect.
I cant quite tell from your puctures but its a very stunning creature.

I would've never believed it was real if I just saw a picture of it. Looks weird.

That thing is pretty cool looking, even though I hate spiders.

Such a bizarre creature, but fascinating!
Undoubtedly, one of the strangest opilions that exist, the shape of its body has always seemed to me a bit curious and funny, since we can associate it to the head of a wolf, a rabbit or a bat. Could it be the mascot of batman? Haha. Nature is always fascinating, it never ceases to amaze with each component that integrates it, greetings.
is that the new DOGE mascot?? ๐๐โ๏ธ
WTH, that's a creepy looking spider. ๐ฑ

Please tell me that there is a cute Kitty cat spider too.

Ohhh
A dog and a spider settled down for winter to bring a monstrosity in the spring๐๐๐ฅ
It's such a strange creature. I guess there is a combination of many different things that we would never expect normally.
That's scary! This is how werewolf spiders start ๐ญ, the world is not ready for that.
