Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Maratus mungaich A jumping peacock spider sitting on a stem looking for a mate. This spider was in a shaded area where its colours seemed to be enhanced. I am quite surprised at how far they can jump for such a little spider. I did photograph this one a few weeks ago but I didn't think you would mind another look at it. I saw two that day. 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 of a different species can be seen here: www.xs4all.nl/~ednieuw/australian/salticidae/Peacock_spid... |
