They actually are and they do look like a star albeit when you look at it from the top

Star fruit = paopu fruit?

Having worked in a supermarket and dealt with the produce department I'm not going to kid you, this happens more often than you'd like to think. It's not such a big deal most of the time the spider is dead due to the low storage temp and transit in an low pressure hold. Sometimes the spiders are alive which is kinda cool they tend to be sluggish and disorientated due to the cold and so easier to catch so long as you don't put it on the shopfloor where it can warm up. Normally they end up being caught and due to the problems with them killed and disposed of. I can think of at least 4 instances where such events occured when I worked in the supermarket. As for the times we found dead tarantulas ect I can't say just too many times.
