Like other Maratus spiders, the males of the species engage in a courtship display during which they raise their third pair of legs and their abdomen, presenting their colorful opisthosomal plate to potential female partners. Unlike other Maratus, however, the males of this species have a set of bright orange hairs (setae) along both edges of the opisthosoma which only become visible during this display.[1]]References1. ^1 {{cite journal | last =Otto | first =Jürgen | last2=Hill | first2=David E. | title =Notes on Maratus Karsch 1878 and related jumping spiders from Australia, with five new species (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryinae) | journal =Peckhamia | volume =103 | issue =1 | page =42 | date =4 November 2012 | url =http://peckhamia.com/peckhamia/PECKHAMIA_103.1.pdf | accessdate = }}
