Cool! I had just been thinking about this species. I was reading a National Geographic article about the evolution of eyes – because I’m a total nerd and that’s how I party! Anyways, I was surprised they didn’t mention spiders like this that have an eye on top of the head surrounded by a circle of multidirectional eyes.
