Courtship of peacock spider Maratus volans from Australia, one of the most amazing spectacles in the animal world, filmed, edited and narrated by myself (Jurgen Otto). Check out my other movies Peacock Spider 2,3,4,5,6,7 which show a couple of different species http://www.youtube.com/user/Peacocksp... . All videos are filmed with Canon 7D or 60D digital SLR and 100 mm Canon macro lens. I created a page on facebook for peacock spider, check it out http://www.facebook.com/PeacockSpider
To put this work in perspective, I am not being paid for my work on these spider, it is just a hobby. I am neither a professional video editor nor a professional arachnologist. I am trying to do my best, but there are limitations. I appreciate all comments and always read them, even if I don't reply to some.

    Why can't all the spiders be like these?

    In a way they are, it's just that we humans can't see it

    This is remarkable, I've never seen such good amateur nature filming, at first I thought you had just renarated professional footage - well done!
