Meet The Most Gorgeous ‘Peacock Spider’

Other species of the Peacock spider are equally impressive.

Maratus speciosus
The common name of this species is Coastal Peacock spider. Until recently it was called Saitis specious, but it is very similar to other species of Maratus and therefore is now included in this genus. The orange coloured hairs are only visible during the display. One of the most striking species in the genus Maratus, it can be found in metropolitan Perth.
