A Newly Discovered Species Of Spider - The Jotus Remus, A Jumping Spider About The Size Of An Apple Seed
a newly discovered species of spider - the jotus remus, a jumping spider about the size of an apple seed found in australia - has an unusual ‘hard to get’ courtship ritual. when courting a female, the male hides on the underside of a leaf occupied by a female, and uses the heart shaped paddle on its leg to get her attention.
jumping spiders are known for their elaborate courtships, but no other jumping spider has ever been seen to display this kind of ‘peekaboo’ behaviour, nor is any other spider known to have these paddles (or remus in latin) on any of their legs. (video)
