Nananana makakii or Happy-face spiderTheridiidaeAlso nanana makakii.Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Oahu, Molokai, Maui and Hawaii Island)Photo: Kaala, OahuHawaiian: nananana or nanana makakii. Nanana (spider) makakii (mask, image face). Lit., spider with a mask. Not the "happiest" of happy-face spiders I've seen. But check out her keiki (children) everywhere on the underside of the leaf of this kanawao (Hydrangea [Broussaisia] arguta). That's reason enough to be happy!Theridion grallator is one of the very few spiders species, only about 1%, that not only protect their young but also feed them.
