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.
