Peacock Spider (Maratus Hesperus) - Unisex Softstyle T-Shirt
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.
