The male peacock jumping spider performs an intricate dance using a fan attached to his abdomen to woo a female and avoid being eaten.2 The dance includes moves such as the "rumble-rump" and "grind-rev" that send good vibrations through the ground towards the female.1 The dance consists of showing different parts of the spider's body until the female returns a response.3 The peacock spider is native to Australia and was first discovered in the 1800s, and new species are still being identified.
