While I don’t particularly hate spiders, they do give me the creeps. This one may appeal to you. Turn the volume up, it was a bit light on my iPad.

Photo in the article.

“A spider that resembles Vincent van Gogh's famous 'Starry Night' painting has been discovered in Australia.
……
The colorful arachnid is one of seven new species of Peacock spiders, which are tiny, harmless creatures that are usually smaller than a grain of rice.”
