Figure 2. Fan dance of Maratus volans.

(A) Males begin this display by swiftly raising the 3^rd legs to an erect leg wave stance. (B) Immediately after, extended 3^rd legs are lowered and (C) brought forward slightly until they are just above the top of the carapace. (D) At this point 3^rd legs are slightly bent at the patella and (E) quickly raised until they are returned to their initial position. One cycle of fan dancing occurs between (B) and (F). Angle measurements (#1-4) are provided in Table 1.
