These spiders change color by secreting a liquid yellow pigment into the outer cell layer of the body
The color change from white to yellow takes between 10 and 25 days, the reverse about six days. The yellow pigments have been identified as kynurenine and hydroxykynurenine.
I really like this close up! Though this spider would usually look scary to me, this actually has a bit of an "innocent" and "shy" side to me. I'm not sure why, but it's great! ^^
I gotta love those eyes. great shot! : D
