This is the Dancing Peacock Spiders

They shake, shimmy, beat bongo beats and look awesome.

The biggest Maratus species can reach 0.3 inches—about the size of a pencil eraser; teeny-tiny package.

It's bad for the male if his dancing isn't up to par.

If the male’s dancing is satisfactory, the spiders get down to business.

Male spiders aren’t just dancing for sex; they’re dancing for their lives. Courtship is risky business for the males, since female peacock spiders will not hesitate to eat their suitors.

But here’s the thing: they only seem to eat the bad dancers. How’s that for incentive?

Baby peacock spiderlings are ridiculously cute lil things

A female peacock spider guards her eggs for two weeks without eating, which often means her end.

There are two newly discovered species: Sparklemuffin and Skeletorus

Male Sparklemuffin (Maratus jactacus) spiders have butts like ski caps made out of jewels and a dance that makes them look very, very drunk.

The black and white Skeletorus (Maratus sceletus) was named after Skeletor from Masters of the Universe
