(Maratus volans - male) This picture is of the males Peacock spider during it's courtship display. This tiny spider is only 4mm long. When he sees a female he raises his third set of legs in the air and waves them to attract a female. When he has her attention he raises his abdomen and unfolds the yellow flaps and starts shaking it. While doing this he walks from side to side, it is very spectacular.
