The Bird-dropping spider (Celaenia excavata (C. kinbergii )) is an unusual spider, the appearance of which mimics bird droppings. This is both effective camouflage, and an effective means of lying in wait for prey.
Its unusual appearance is its very protection. It is dirty white, grey and black in colour, with a large abdomen, rather like the swollen effect of a bird dropping. It waits, motionless, on leaves for its prey, without fear that eny other creature will try to eat it, due to its unappetising appearance.

how the hell should i know that
Spiders use camouflage to mimic their surroundings or objects from the environment, in order to capture unwary prey. There is an Australian spider, for example, called the Bird-dropping spider (Celaenia excavata) which literally mimics bird droppings sitting motionless on a leaf. Other insects wander nearby, unsuspecting, and are then easily caught.

One of the bird eating spiders is the Goliath Bird Eating Spider, a type of tarantula. Other spiders can eat birds also. In August 2009, a photograph was taken of a giant spider, a Golden Orb weaver, eating a bird in a backyard near Cairns, Australia. See the story at the related link below.
