This little guy is known as the Maratus speciosus, or the Coastal Peacock spider. His orange hairs are only visible during his mating display.
The Maratus harrisi is one of the more rare species of Peacock spider; this is only the third spider to ever be photographed.
Maratus linnaei is one of the hairier Peacock spiders, almost resembling a cross between a moth and tarantula.
Meet the Maratus mungaich and its all-seeing eye.
This little guy is a mysterious species of Maratus, hailing from Tasmania.
And this mystery Maratus is from Australia.
The Maratus amabilis coloration almost seems like there are eyes looking back at you.
We love Darlington’s Peacock spider’s tiny white mustache.
The Maratus splendens very well could hold the secret to Spiderman’s powers.
The bright colors of the Peacock spiders are used by males to attract mates.
(And who wouldn’t love this fantastic dancing?)
… still scary, even though they are SO tiny.
