Summary

Description

While checking around the base of a Powder-Bark - Eucalyptus accedens tree today. I spied this beautiful jumping spider.

These spiders attract mates by standing and lifting their 3rd legs into the air. They then make a beautiful display by lifting flaps from the side of their abdomen and tilting their abdomen. The display can be seen here: www.xs4all.nl/~ednieuw/australian/salticidae/Peacock_spid...

This one lifted one leg to signal but then moved on jumping from one piece of bark to another.

Such an amazing little spider to find. 4-5mm
