Peacock Spider孔雀蜘蛛

While it may be eight-legged like every other spider, this ‘peacock spider’ has an impressive mating ritual to attract a partner. It shows off a rainbow of colours to impress nearby females by fanning out brightly patterned flaps at the back of his body, as it is only 4mm long. Daily Mail


雖然和其他蜘蛛一樣有八隻腳,但「孔雀蜘蛛」有令人驚豔的求偶儀式。由於雄孔雀蜘蛛身長僅4公釐,牠只好朝附近的雌蜘蛛展示背側色彩鮮豔的翼片,靠斑斕色彩吸引對方。
