Description: Maratus spiders are known from Australia, in particular there are many from Western Australia. This 4 mm long Maratus would be one of the most common peacock spiders in Western Australia, many of them living in Perth Back yards. I was extremely surprised to see one sitting inside on the wall of our rented unit 200+ km N of Perth. Fred photographed him perfectly! HA! Explored 12 Oct 2021 #269.

I was checking for a different spider when this little fella came out waving his legs and looking, looking. I keep on going back to the spot to see if I can see it again but.. not yet!!.
