The Samoan Toilet Spider

The other morning I was greeted with a surprise when I went into the
bathroom. I chance to see the famous Samoan toilet spider up close.
I have included a picture of the famed arachnid for your viewing
pleasure. The Samoa Toilet Spider is indigenous to Samoa. It is
unknown where they lived before toilets were used here but now they
reside primarily in toilets. They are not poisonous but do have a
nasty bite that can leave unsuspecting victims extremely unsatisfied
with their restroom experience. Interesting enough they are the only
spider that feeds on feces so they do not produce webbing.
