    Cute But Weird Spider
    My spider is black and white with four legs and eats ants
    It is in my mums room in Thailand and is fairly cute
    In my opinion. I just want to make shore it is not dangerous because we like it and even called stripy

    A four legged spider? Doesn't sound right to me.

    A picture would definitely help.

    Technically, it needs 8 legs to be a spider... can't be classed as a spider with only four legs unless the other four got ripped off somehow.

    Can you post a picture of it? There are many, many different species in Thailand.

    I was just thinking about what could be confused as a four legged spider... an Argiope maybe and they do have them in Thailand. Argiopes often sit with their legs paired up. I am not sure why they do this but I have seen it. They are also often striped. I need to look for pics now.

    I am grossed out (although I try to never kill spiders around my house) but kudos to odinn.
