What's tiny and terrifying except for when it's furry, colored like a zebra and literally always sporting a "headlights" look? (Via The Verge)

A peacock spider. Specifically, a Maratus personatus Peacock spider.

While insects aren’t generally associated with cute, the mating dance this one particular spider does most certainly is.

The Western Australian spider was caught on camera trying to charm a female spider. It seems as if the dance works until the 1:19 mark when the spider plays hard to get and eventually decides to flee.

Still, the effort is worth applauding.
