A spider that looks like Vincent van Gogh's iconic 'Starry Night' painting has been found in Australia’s Little Desert National Park. This male, named Maratus constellatus, is only four millimeters in length and was spotted by Joseph Schubert of Australia’s Museums Victoria. The colorful arachnid, one of the seven new species of Peacock spiders are tiny, harmless creatures and usually smaller than a grain of rice.
