Not All Spider-Bros are Scary: 23 Teeny Tiny Peacock Spiders Shakin' Their Tail Feathers In The Most Adorable Way (Pics & Gifs)

Usually, we're not huge fans of spiders, but these adorable peacock spiders have officially changed our minds! They're smaller than a grain of rice and love to dance. If that's not lovable, we're not sure what is! They have flashy "tails" that they use during their mating rituals to attract mates. Maybe we can't convince you that all spiders and bugs are cute, but at least hear us out about these little guys.

These guys don't spin webs, they spend most of their energy hunting for small insects and working on their dance moves. The dance is quite complicated and involves showing off their fancy footwork and stylish appearance, but beware, if the female doesn't like the male's moves, she can even try to eat the male spider for not impressing her. Yikes! So, we're going to get to dance class, but you should scroll down and check out these stylish spiders for yourselves!

Here you can see how small they really are when you see the size of the fingernail next to it. Something that small can't be so scary, especially when they like to put their arms up like that. It's adorable, admit it!
