Maratus combustus

Maratus combustus is a species of peacock spider native to Australia. The species was discovered together with Maratus felinus and Maratus aquilus by a research group from Monash University, near Lake Jasper in the South West region of Western Australia. However, the ranges of each species do not overlap.

Description

The spider has a medium-dark burnt orange colour on its abdomen. Like other Maratus species, it is very small. Male spiders are brighter coloured than female spiders.
