Put your hands in the air for the incredible shield-carrying peacock spider 🙌 Also known as Maratus clupeatus, these little fellas were recorded by IG/ @flynn_prall in the Perth area. "They're shaking their butts any chance they get! These spiders are doing a mating dance in an attempt to woo a female into courtship. They are in no danger (well, unless the female has had enough of the silly dancing and decides to eat him). This was all filmed in their natural environment." 🎵 Original soundtrac

Here we have a male peacock jumping spider (Maratus volans) doing his best to win the heart of another. But, if his prospective partner is not impressed, she may become aggressive, and might even…. Yeah, she ate him. #WildlifeWednesday 🦚 🕷 | Science Channel

The courtship display of Maratus constellatus. As you can see the male is constantly on the move, making filming quite challenging. The background noise are cicadas. You may want to switch off the sound if it is too annoying. | Peacock Spider

flynn prall on Instagram: "This is the first time I've witnessed a male Peacock Jumping Spider dance for a female while eating a meal at the same time 😂. Jumping spiders are well known for their ability to jump and climb around while they are eating, but this is a first for me! Males that are eating and then spot a female will always watch her closely, but they always make sure to finish their food before dancing... not this eager guy!! Species name- Maratus volans #peacockjumpingspider #omsyst

This is Maratus volans, the Australian peacock spider. He's 5 millimeters long with a brain the size of a poppy seed.The colorful flap on his abdomen is one of the most sophisticated optical instruments in the animal kingdom. Each iridescent scale measures 40 microns by 10 microns. On those scales sit nanogratings with a period of 210 nanometers, packed at 4,600 lines per millimeter. That density exceeds anything in commercial spectrometers. The light coming off his abdomen is wavelength-dispers

syaTV on Instagram: "The peacock spider (Maratus) is one of the smallest spiders in the world, measuring around 5 millimeters, yet it is an aggressive and effective predator. While its venom is deadly to insects, it poses no danger to humans. The most remarkable behavior appears during mating: the brightly colored male performs an elaborate dance in front of the female, sometimes lasting up to 50 minutes. If the display fails, the male may be eaten. Even if it succeeds, survival is not guarantee
