Is it just me or is there an optical illusion in the first picture that (as you track across it from left to right) makes them appear to sway slightly? I love 'em.
Ooops- sorry Jessy, didn't see you already had a Ref. there.
These are just incredible! Never knew they existed so thanks for sharing! Attaching Wiki so folk can read for themselves how astonishing this creature is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnocampa
