Could you imagine humans like this? The men would be hanging it out of car windows and everywhere else one could imagine. Q: What comes out of a Xerox machine when you sit on it? A: A paper moon.

Probably an ignorant question here, but can this spider (or any other for that matter) actually see it’s own backside or is it all just wishful thinking?

It’s evolution. The ones with the best butt decorations attract the lady spiders and get to reproduce. The others get eaten instead.

see it? yes. They have 360 degree vision.
but I suspect you mean something more by that question that just whether they can visually perceive it.
in the end though, it wouldn’t matter if they could not see it, as they aren’t the ones doing the selecting on it.

btw, that looks like a member of Salticidae, not Theraphosidae.
jumping spiders do a lot of interesting things.
they are quite trainable and are often used in behavioral experiments because of that.

Has just lobbed virgin into volcano?
I somehow want a mask of that. The whole thing, not just the face!
Interesting, though, that it’s basically standing on its face to display the face on its butt!
Who was it who wrote:
When I throw rocks at seabirds,
I leave no tern unstoned.
When I portray baboons,
I leave no stern untoned.
(I don’t think it was Ogden Nash.)
Remember 80s parachute pants?
It’s the most terrifying, while somehow also being the cutest, plush toilet-lid cover ever.
I never want to meet what ever thing that spider is mimicking.
How is nobody making a plush toy of this?
I especially like the shiny teal beads near the bottom.
What? Eyes? EYES??!!!!
KILL IT WITH FIRE!
…it works for baboons.

Is that you, in the photo, Lady Gaga?
I doubt there is enough decoration on Earth that would make my huge, flabby, cottage-cheese ass look attractive.
Lucky arachnid! :(
Marcus @ #9, you pretty much nailed it with the 80s parachute pants:
