Maratus volansMaratus volans Dancing Maratus volans Female & Immature Maratus volans Prey
The female and immature Maratus volans spiders are brown in colour.
Immature female peacock spiders resemble the adults, except their pedipalps are colorless. The immature male peacock spiders lack an opisthosomal fan, a prominent white marginal band of the carapace, as well as specialization of the third legs. The males do not generate their colorful colors until sexual maturity.
