Spider alert ...

... this species does not live in our garden.
But O how I wish it did.
Ladies & Gentlepersons, I give you the Australian Peacock Spider.
I think you will all be as charmed as I was.

Maybe you can go there and kidnap a few for your garden! What a marvelous little creature. Thanks for finding that and sharing it. So cool!

And then he doesn't get any.

Caw, will news you when I'm properly awake.
Zoomie, I'm tempted, believe me :)
Cookie, one does, right at the end!

Zoomie said...

Love the dance of the pedipalps as the excitement builds.

cookiecrumb said...

Oh, like preying mantises?

S said...

Ohh she is vicious, he is utterly charming tho.

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Zoomie, yes he becomes quite animated with quivering excitment!
Cookie, noooooooooooo, or, at least, I hope not *worries*. Perhaps I'll declare the Brown Mouse Long Paddock a Peacock Spider Sanctuary for abused boy spiders!
S I'd fall for him, if I were a lady spider. Aren't you supposed to be camping or somesuch vile activity?
