A male peacock spider shows off a stunning array of colours as it performs an impressive mating ritual in front of a watching female. This image of the 4mm long spider was captured by amateur photographer Jurgen Otto, from Sydney, Australia. Male peacock spiders keep their “tails”, which are flap-like extensions of their abdomen, folded down by their side until they spot a brown coloured female.
