"Adorable" is not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when we hear the word "spider." Of course, some people actually like them, but they are professionals, collectors, or enthusiasts.

On the opposite side are the arachnophobes, who are terrified of these creatures. Most of us are in the middle – not exactly terrified, but not too crazy about them.

We don't like to see them in our vicinity, especially in our house. But not terrified. Maybe a little nervous around them. But not terrified...Not even a bit.

But there are kinds of spiders that are actually cute. If you don't believe us -check out the photos, it's completely safe.

Currently, there are at least 48,200 spider species, and 120 families recorded by taxonomists, and some of them are just adorable... Even if you don’t find them cute, you have to admit they are not scary, although there might be some arachnophobes that wouldn’t agree.

Can arachnophobes overcome their fear if you expose them to small doses of spider cuteness? Will these photos show them that they can be so adorable and benevolent?

 Well, it is hard to say, but this might be the first step.
