Peacock spider
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

Indlela yokusibona
- Males are red, blue and black, with flap-like extensions on the abdomen that have white hairs and can be folded down.1
- Females and young spiders are brown, with colour patterns that set them apart from related species.1
- Both sexes reach about 5 mm in body length.1
- The males raise their abdomen and spread the flaps into a white-fringed, circular field of colour during courtship.1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.
Uma siluma
- Geza inxeba lokulunywa bese ubeka iphakethe leqhwa phezu kwalo ngenxa yobuhlungu. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha uma ubuhlungu bunamandla, busabalala noma umuntu ezizwa engaphilile.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso
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
Peacock spiders can jump up to 40 times their own body length.1
They have eight eyes and can see ultraviolet light as well as the full visible spectrum.1
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
Females of this species are thought to mate only once.1
Umqothuli wezinganekwane
Inganekwane: The male spider uses its colourful flaps as wings to help it glide or sustain its leaps.
Iqiniso: This belief has been debunked by the Australasian Arachnological Society.1
