Description

Maratus chrysomelas is a small and extremely colourful species of peacock spider. They are about 3-4mm in length and have an iridescent abdomen.  Depending on which angle you look at it, this iridescent shine can be from a bright, shiny and vibrant red to a blue, orange, yellow, purple, green and even white colour. If you’re having trouble seeing the bunny, take the black areas on the abdomen as the ears!

These species are found all over Australia in drier areas and are around the whole year.

• sold as adult males so you can stare at them the whole day and marvel at their cuteness!

Please note: All jumping spiders are not as suited to keeping in captivity than other species.  Jumping spiders can live 1-2 years in captivity, however males often don’t live as long as females..  All jumping spiders are sold as adults and thus we cannot establish their true age.
