On the right is comedian Stephen Colbert. On the left is the Aptostichus stephencolberti, a spider species found in California. The resemblance is striking, don't you think? If Colbert ever needs a night off from his new show, he's got a stand-in ready.

This is 1 of 24 animal species that have been named for celebrities rounded up by BuzzFeed, including Hugh Hefner, Barack Obama, Johnny Depp, Madonna, and Harrison Ford.
