Maratus volans, is a species in the jumping spider family, belonging to the peacock spider genus.

So I'm currently working on a book, which plays with both senses of the word, as I explore some of my own ideas and inquiries in a visual display of rather peacock like grandeur.

Just as the peacock signals his strength and fitness by displaying his enormous tail a sheer waste of resources from a practical point of view so costly public acts of benevolence signal to potential mates that one possesses enough resources to give so much away.
