These tiny spiders live in Australia. Males are characterized by their colourful abdominal flaps that are used to attract females during courtship. Their legs are also used in a clapping motion to further attract a female's attention. While approaching the female, the male vibrates his abdomen while waving raised legs and tail, and dances from side to side - - -
The fantastic colouring appealed to me, and I created an imaginary background using clingfilm over randomly placed grasses.

Most of my paintings are acrylic on paper or board, and, unless otherwise stated, will be sent unframed either rolled in a secure tube or mounted in a white or cream mount 5-6cm wide, with mountboard backing to protect it in the post. It can easily be detached from this to be re-mounted or framed as you wish.

I have not so far been asked to accept a return, and paintings are quite easily damaged unless carefully packed, but if you are not happy with your purchase, I am willing to discuss it.
