Maratus unicup by Michael Lun
Summary
In FE5.1 & 5.2 we got to know jumping spiders primarily through a single genus: Habronattus, the paradise jumping spiders. In this bonus conversation with photographer Michael Lun, we discuss the only genus of jumping spiders that can claim to be even more bedazzling: Maratus, the peacock jumping spiders.
To see Michael's photography (of Western Australia's jumping spiders and much more), head to his website &/or instagram
