The peacock spider is part of the jumping spider family. They are found in Australia in a wide range of habitats.  When they court, the males raises his abdomen, expands and raises the flaps in the abdomen to forms a white-fringed, circular field of color, looking like peacocks.  They lift  a pair of legs to create movement to add to the display.  They dance from side to side while vibrating their abdomen and waving their legs, it's quite a show.
