That is so cool. Much nicer than a gaggle of Purple Grackles in full throat doing the Mummers Strut at 5:30 AM outside your open bedroom window.

One has to wonder what analysis is involved in the female when deciding who to pick. I wonder how we would get along with aliens when the females eat the males if they don’t like their dance.

Even the less colorful jumping spiders are just too cute.

Of course the winner wins the privilege of mating… and then of being eaten by his paramour.
