The Spider That Pretends to Be Bird Poop
The bird-dropping spider is as weird as it sounds. This arachnid has evolved to look exactly like a blob of bird feces—white body, splatter pattern, and all. The goal? To avoid being eaten by predators who wouldn’t dream of snacking on something that disgusting.
Some species even enhance the disguise with a foul odor or by positioning themselves in bird-like droppings on leaves. It’s a strategy so repulsive that it works beautifully. In the wild, looking gross is sometimes better than looking fierce.
