Peacock Spider 7

Courtship display of the Coastal peacock spider (Maratus speciosus). Hard to believe, but there is no footage of this species yet in any wildlife documentary. It inhabits coastal dune habitats near Perth in Western Australia. Filmed by me (Jurgen Otto) with Canon 60D and 100 mm macro lens. Thanks to David Knowles from Perth for providing the spiders filmed here Music in order of appearance: Fossils (Graham Pagano) Didgeridingo (David Anstey) All music from Still ima
