Dikutip dari situs ini, "Mereka bisa ditemukan di Hawaii. Mereka bukanlah spesies laba-laba yang berbahaya bagi manusia. Pola pada abdomen kuningnya mirip dengan senyuman, walaupun ada juga yang tidak memiliki pola seperti ini. Spesies ini masuk kategori spesies langka karena berkurangnya habitat asli mereka.".
Nah binatang ini tidak berbahaya bagi manusia. Ukurannya sangat kecil sekitar 5 milimeter. Dia biasa ngumpet sepanjang hari. Berita sedihnya, saat ini sudah terancam punah.
Lebih jauh, Wikipedia bilang: "Certain morphs have a pattern uncannily resembling a smilet face or a grinning clown face on their yellow body. Each spider has a unique pattern, and the patterns differ from island to island. Some lack markings altogether. On the island of Maui, the happy types seem to follow simple Mendelian inheritance rules, while on other Hawaiian islands the body inheritance patterns seem to be sex-limited. The variation is possibly a kind of camouflage against birds, their only natural enemies of significance, to counteract pattern recognition by predators. As the pattern may change according to what food the spider has eaten (Gillespie, 1989) and as T. grallator is very small, hides during the day, and is thus not a significant prey item for any species of predator, it is more likely that the bizarre variety of patterns serves no significant adaptive purpose at all."
