Cute Peacock Spiders Dancing to the Bee Gee’s ‘Stayin’ Alive’


Sydney, Australia-based photographer and spider enthusiast, Jürgen Otto, humorously synced footage of 51 different male Australian peacock (Maratus volans) spiders shaking their brightly-colored booties (which they do to attract the attention of potential mates) to the Bee Gees’ 1977 disco classic, “Stayin’ Alive.”

“A short compilation of 51 Australian peacock spiders. I often thought “Stayin’ Alive” was the perfect tune for letting peacock spiders dance to, and I am glad I finally got around to combining the two.”
