For some, they are excellent pets. For others, a source of primal terror. No matter which side you're on, spiders are impressive for their different sizes, their characteristics, and in many cases, for their beauty. Beyond their intimidating profile, certain spiders display a true festival of colors and visual patterns, which are not necessarily linked to distracting prey or camouflage. Would you like to see?

After all, most people wish to stay at a very healthy distance from any spider, but if you dare to look at this gallery, you might change your mind... a little.
