Figure 32 in Two new peacock spiders of the calcitrans group from southern Queensland (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae: Maratus)

Description

Figure 32. Sequential but not consecutive video frames (1-10, 25fps, exposure/frame 20msec) showing a male Maratus sceletus displaying first to a female (at lower right in frames 1-6) on top of a narrow grass stem, then moving to display from the other side of the stem. Slight movements of the elevated and flexed right leg III are indicated with arrows (3-5). Display in either position involved very rapid movement of the spinnerets, and sometimes rapid lateral vibration of the elevated fan (frames 4-5). Between each brief episode of display (~0.6s above the stem as shown here), the male crouched low on the stem. Alternation between positions occurs many times throughout the courtship display, with ~1 change of position every 2s (0.5Hz).
