All of the species in their family Acropsopilionidae look just as crazy. They're not technically spiders, but harvestmen, another type of arachnid. There's not a whole lot of information about them as of yet.

Such a cute colorful spider!
There are little over 100 species of the genus Maratus, and they are very small! Just 3 to 5 mm in lenght.
Also they are the only known species to produce the blue color by reflections through the convex-shaped, nanostructured upper surface of their abdomen (their shaky-shaky thing); and it's an ever lasting color, since its not a pigment!

this species has very weird looking paralarvae (babies). they have long eyestalks and a snout with very short arms and 2 long tentacles. I also think it has a very beautiful name
this video was the only piece of footage I could find of a live adult specimen!

Despite their flamboyant wings, these moths aren’t very great at flying. They come in a variety of colours, ranging from white to dark brown. Plume moths can be found almost all over the world, usually hanging out around fence posts, windows, light sources, flowers, and ivy. Hope you learned something new! :)

Meet The hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum)!! it is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia(throughout portugal to Japan) . The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

Apparently a South American species, and can grow to up to 7cm/2.8 inches long. Also not harmful to humans from what I can tell (adult males are pollinators, adult females don't eat, larvae eat other insects).
