(Maratus plumosus) Approx. 4 mm long. The Side Kicking or Blue-legged Peacock spider is a little different to most Peacock spiders, as it's abdominal flaps are much smaller, this species uses it's silk spinners (at end of abdomen) in the display. Unfortunately I could not position myself to capture the display from the front. You can see the female he is courting in the background.
