A nice collection of photos showing males, females, and courtship behavior of Maratus mungaich.
Maratus mungaich, the banksia peacock spider, is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae.[2] It is endemic to Western Australia.[2]
The species was first described in 1995 by Julianne Waldock.[1] In 2013 she described a species-group for Maratus mungaich.[3] In 2014 Waldock identified Maratus hortorum which had until then been identified as M.mungaich.[4]
In courtship, males in the Maratus genus extend their elongated third legs,[5] and only the male is so brightly and beautifully coloured.
The specific epithet, mungaich, derives from a Nyoongar word for "banksia"[1][6] (mangatch).[7][8]
