Peacock Spider

The brightly decorated peacock spider - much like his feathered namesake - uses colour to show off to the female of the species. Its markings appear to form a face including eyes, nose, a mouth and even ginger hair which is unique to this species, called Maratus speciosus. The tiny spiders are only about four to five millimetres in length.
