Maratus pavonisThis is the male of a 'peacock spider' and they are found in the forest and gardens across Perth at this time of the year. I consider it a privilege to have found some in my garden this year. The male spiders of this genus 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:

Lycidas chrysomelas and one
Maratus mungaich.In December 2014 this spider was renamed

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:

Peacock spider - Jumping spiderI was down on my knees, looking at some Drosera plants and noticed this little spider on the Red Gum nut on the ground and was immediately awed by the colours it was reflecting. It is so beautiful. Have a look at
Wildernesscam's "Peacock spider" he found on the coast. It is quite different than mine And different again from

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:
