But on the other side, though, it did have that same strange "freaky mask" look to it (one time it basically flipped to the other side for about a week after rebuilding its web, so I got a good look). <br /><br />But the legs weren't quite as long nor were the colors (yellow and black) as clearly separate as they are on the Korean/Japanese variety. <br /><br />The other thing, of course, is that the <i>mudang kŏmi</i> is not indigenous to Hawaii, but then again, neither are a lot of things found there, like cats. <br /><br />So it could be. I should ask a local (Hawaiian) entomologist to see. If it is a local thing, I'm sure there's some colorful lore that's associated with it.<br /><br />It liked on the back of my car for about two months, becoming something of a biology experiment for me. Even the people who did the safety check on my SUV at Jiffy Lube left it alone, after doing a comical double take upon seeing it.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-7140113046150400772009-07-30T19:25:27.202+09:002009-07-30T19:25:27.202+09:00LOL
