While checking around the base of a Powder-Bark -
Eucalyptus accedens tree today. I spied this beautiful jumping spider. 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:

They are so tiny but so beautiful and sneak up when you are least expecting them. I was checking for a different spider when this little fella came out waving his legs and looking, looking.I keep on going back to the spot to see if I can see it again but... not yet!!
