This Australian spider looks like it got caught in several jars of psychedelic poster paints. What it actually is, is a peacock spider of the genus Marata. Even someone with a spider phobia has to admit this male's color scheme is pretty spectacular. As with most bright coloration in nature, his coat of many colors is a mating display. If the display was not dazzling enough, Marata azureus also wave their third legs in a mating dance. There are eighty-five species in the genus; seven new ones have been described in the journal Zootaxa. These spiders are tiny, about the size of a grain of rice, and only males are brightly colored. Some have fans they can extend like a peacock's feathers Males have to be very careful though when pursuing a female, since they kill males that fail to impress them. Talk about pressure!
