Baboon spider legs. Sensory hairs on the legs of a golden brown baboon spider (Pterinochilus sp.), also showing an adhesive foot pad (bottom right). Baboon spiders get their name because their last two leg segments are similar to the finger of a baboon. Photographed at De Hoop Nature Reserve, South Africa.
