Peacock Spider (Maratus Hesperus) | Unisex Heavy Blend™ Hooded Sweatshirt
The peacock spider Maratus hesperus is a tiny Western Australian show-off, measuring just a few millimetres long but putting on a courtship display that would make a professional dancer nervous. Males flash their brilliantly patterned abdomens, wave their legs and perform an intricate little dance to catch the attention of a female — who gets to decide whether the performance earns a date or a dinner. Like other peacock spiders, they’re part of an incredibly diverse group of tiny jumping spiders found only in Australia, with more than 100 species now described. Protecting native vegetation is important for these miniature predators and the ecosystems they inhabit, and organisations like ReWild Perth support the protection and restoration of native habitats across Western Australia. For something smaller than your fingernail, M. hesperus certainly has no shortage of confidence.
This unisex heavy blend hooded sweatshirt is relaxation itself. Made with a thick blend of cotton and polyester, it feels plush, soft and warm, a perfect choice for any cold day. In the front, the spacious kangaroo pocket adds daily practicality while the hood's drawstring is the same color as the base sweater for extra style points.
.: Made with a medium-heavy fabric (8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²)) that consists of 50% cotton and 50% polyester for that cozy feel and warmth you need in a hoodie.
.: The classic fit along with the pouch pocket and the tear-away label make for a highly comfortable, scratch-free wearing experience.
.: The color-matched drawcord and the double-lined hood add a stylish flair and durability that tie everything together.
