Figure 3. Fan dance by the type males for Maratus nambung, showing variations in the scale pattern of the fan. 9, Across the fan in the middle (inset rectangle) most pigmented scales are dull orange to orange, contrasting with the red-orange scales on other parts of the fan. In male M. bubo (Figure 2.1-2.2), all of these scales are bright, scarlet red. As shown here, the detailed pattern of pigmented orange scales varies somewhat between individuals. For example, in males 1 and 4-5 there is a small orange spot behind the central black spot. The amount of orange colour at the fringed lateral margins of the fan also varies, and is lacking in some individuals (e.g., 3-6, 8).
