oh man, this footage of the peacock spider’s mating ritual lives up to its name. The waving legs, vibrating abdomen, the colorful display!
i’d really like it if someone dubbed over the footage though, giving the male spiders a voice. “hey, hey, hey, over here! *waving* look! pick me! hey! hey! *vibrating* eh? you like what you see? yeah? hey! hey!”
Early Bird Special: The Peacock spider’s funkadelic mating ritual captured on camera for (possibly) the very first time.
Skip to 2:30 if you’re short on time. Skip to Tube Dubber if you only have time for the inevitable Bee Gees remix.
