A spider with an alien-like face on its back was spotted by a woman in her house in southern China.

The bizarre video, shot in Yuanjiang city in Hunan province on July 9, shows a green spider with some patterns looking like eyes, nose, mouth and hair on its back.

The woman named Li was filming and talking to the spider. She said: "If there were no mosquitos to eat in winter, will it leave my house? I really want to keep you as a pet at home."

Li said she wanted to return it back to nature. But if the spider wanted to stay in her house, she also likes to keep it a pet as it looks cute and odd.

Experts had different opinions on the spider. Some thought the rare phenomenon might be caused by albinism, but others thought it was the mutation of normal spiders.

很多物种在历史的长河中消失，或许也会有一些新有物种被大家发现。近日，湖南省沅江市居民李女士家中来了一只长相怪异的蜘蛛。

这只浑身绿色的小家伙，背部看起来竟然十分酷似人脸，顶部的黑线似人的头发！

据悉，这种蜘蛛有毒性，但其毒性和普通蜘蛛相差无几。目前，人面蜘蛛的具体成因一直没有明确的说法。李女士说，自己想放声，让这只蜘蛛生活在大自然中，不过如果这只蜘蛛想待在李女士家里的话，自己也愿意养着，因为它长得很可爱很奇特！

对于“人面蜘蛛”的来源，专家们说法不一。有专家认为，“人面蜘蛛”可能是蜘蛛的一种“白化”现象，比较少见。也有专家认为，“人面蜘蛛”是普通蜘蛛的一种变种，或者可能受到了外部伤害。
