Description:

Maratus pavonisI was outside at sunset last night and notice a flash of orange. I was pleased that I had time to come in and add my flash and 20mm extension on the camera before finding that this little spider was still waving his legs and looking for a female. those big green eyes!!These spiders attract mates by standing and lifting their 3rd legs into the air. They then make a beautiful display by lifting flaps from the side of their abdomen and tilting their abdomen. The display can be seen here: www.xs4all.nl/~ednieuw/australian/salticidae/Peacock_spid...
