Over 50 graceful peacock spiders dance and preen to the iconic disco song “Stayin’ Alive” by The Bee Gees in a colorful compilation created from footage taken by Australian photographer Jurgen Otto aka Peacockspiderman. These beautiful arachnids have also been seen waving around lightsabers and dancing to the song YMCA.

A short compilation of 51 Australian peacock spiders. I filmed these and few additional ones that I didn’t find space for in this clip over the last few years. Thanks to Universal Music for allowing me to use the Bee Gees track. I often thought it is the perfect tune for letting peacock spiders dance to, and I am glad I finally got around to combining the two.
