💃 Life lesson... Do not annoy a female while she is eating!⁠
⁠
The female in this video was already eating a cricket and was not in the mood to watch a courtship dance. If you watch closely, you'll notice the male getting away in the top right corner after her lunge.⁠
⁠
Here's a new and new species of Peacock Spider from the Cooljarloo area.⁠
This species is very similar to Maratus clupeatus, and both species have now been found to clap their third pair of legs while they display for a female, so very cool!⁠
