A freak of nature, this amazing spider was found in Hawaii, measures just a few millimetres across and a bizarre marking which looks just look a smiley face.

The spider itself is harmless to humans and scientists believe the pattern serves to confuse predators.

But it’s no laughing matter for the spider which is under-threat from extinction from its home in the rainforests of the Hawaiian island chain in the Pacific ocean.

Lets hope this little guy can spread some cheer and lives a long, happy spider life.
