The peacock spider is a tiny jumping spider from Australia. Males are brightly coloured, and they show off with a fan of flaps on their abdomen and a dance to win a female. Its eyesight is so good that it can see ultraviolet light, which helps it hunt.1

Dintlha

1

Some males can change their scale colours from red to green to violet with slight movements, because their scales reflect light in a special way.1

2

Peacock spiders can jump up to 40 times their own body length.1

3

They have eight eyes and can see ultraviolet light as well as the full visible spectrum.1

4

Males dance and vibrate their abdomen for an average of about 24 minutes to win a female, and the dance can last from 6 to 50 minutes.1

5

Females of this species are thought to mate only once.1

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: The male spider uses its colourful flaps as wings to help it glide or sustain its leaps.

Nnete: This belief has been debunked by the Australasian Arachnological Society.1
