The animal world is full of examples of God's creativity. Even creatures we despise (like snakes and spiders) are often fascinating anyway. Take jumping spiders, as an example. If any spider could be considered "cute", it's these little guys - like this one, hiding in a dried-up leaf. (In a future e-mail, I want to talk briefly about how amazing these spiders are.)

Other spiders have been described as "beautiful"! You might take exception to that label being applied to any spider! But, at least take a look at this incredible, blue spider. It's a tarantula, found in South America. In fact, some varieties of these are found only in certain places, and are quite rare. This type of spider has been described as the most beautiful spider in existence. Take a look and see what you think...
