Maratus volans
The
Peacock spider or
Gliding spider (
Maratus volans) is a species of
jumping spider. The red, blue and black colored males have flap-like extensions of the
abdomen with white hairs that can be folded down. They are used for display during
mating: the male raises his abdomen, then expands and raises the flaps so that the abdomen forms a white-fringed, circular field of color. The species, and indeed the whole genus
Maratus have been compared to
peacocks in this respect. The third pair of legs is also raised for display, showing a brush of black hairs and white tips. While approaching the female, the male will then vibrate raised legs and tail, and dance from side to side.
