Description

Maratus literatus is a medium-large sized species of peacock spider found in SA, usually in coastal areas. Males have a red, orange and blue abdomen with circular patterns and a red “M” or “W”  shape on the cephalothorax. Legs are grey with black banding/marmorations.

We suggest The Bug Box or Little Bug Box for an enclosure.

Feed the little guy 3 baby crickets every 3-4 days. Make sure the crickets are no bigger than the spider’s body (excluding legs)
