The shield-carrying peacock spider (Maratus clupeatus) is here to party!Males are out and about at the moment, dancing the 'tail-feathers' off in an attempt to woo females. While it may look like a warning – wavering his legs around and flashing his opisthosomal fans (a flap on the abdomen covered in bright iridescent scales) – a male is in no danger, unless a female has had enough of the silly dancing and decides to eat him).
