14 DAY TRIAL // This video may actually help some people go past their arachnophobia as this peacock spider is more than hilarious, busting moves on the famous YMCA song.
The footage of the spider captured by a scientist from the Australian Institute of Marine Science was edited by YouTube user Dario Trovato and turned into the funniest video to ever feature an arachnid. The bright colored spider danced his way into a viral sensation as the clip got almost half a million views and it is still growing fast.
The footage of the spider shows him engaging in courtship dance for the ladies, waving his legs, wiggling his colored abdomen and twisting around. Mixed in a special way, with a few special effects and a good song, the dancing spider is now an Internet sensation.
The peacock spider gets his name from its colorful abdomen and it is only encountered in Australian grounds. With the size of a fingernail, the small little dancer is able to jump 40 times higher than other species, but it is now in danger because of its natural habitat destruction.
