Description
Maratus leo is a medium-large sized species of peacock spider found in SA, usually in coastal areas.
Males feature the same pattern as Maratus Leo, just with more colours and both species are often found together, it has been suggested that ‘Leo’ and ‘literatus’ are just colour forms of the same species.
Female Maratus literatus are light brown with some lighter chevron patterns on the abdomen. Currently eating x-small crickets

Amazing purchase, she arrived happy and healthy and settled right into her enclosure. I was honestly shocked how small she really is so keep that in mind! She started off quite shy but was perfect being handled, ate fairly quickly and loves hanging out high up in her enclosure!
