A peacock spider raises its brilliant fan while standing on the curled edge of a dry leaf. Turquoise scales and orange curved bands cover the upright abdomen, which is edged with fine pale hairs. Two long dark legs rise beside it, each finishing in a small white tuft.

The close view resolves the glossy forward eyes, smaller side eyes and pale fuzzy mouthparts beneath the colorful display. Supporting legs meet the leaf around the body, while fine veins and scattered grains reveal the small scale of the scene. Warm side light separates individual hairs against a soft olive background without losing the rough texture of the leaf.
