Vibrant peacock spiders likened to famous artworks delight photographers. Akin to the famous Van Gogh painting, the starry night peacock spider highlights the rare species' beauty. But some people are concerned not enough is being done to protect the arachnids.

A few of those look like they are roadies for Kid Rock.

Half a centimeter! Wow these are tiny. Amazing photos when you think about the size of these things and the fact that they're being shot out in the wild. Must be 10,000 bad photos of these spiders before getting a good one.

And they move so fast! It’s a nightmare to photograph, let alone take videos
