WASHINGTON: Two gorgeous new species of peacock spiders nicknamed “Skeletorus” and “Sparklemuffin” have been discovered in Australia, according to a new report.
Peacock spiders are so-named because of their bright colors and their dancelike, courtship rituals.
The two new species were found in southeast Queensland by Madeline Girard, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley who studies peacock spiders, and a friend who went with her into the field. Girard affectionately gave the nickname Sparklemuffin to one of the species, Maratus jactatus, which has bluish and reddish stripes on its abdomen.
