Arachnid Model - Maratus Robinsoni

Peacock Jumping Spider - Scale 75:1

This particular species is called ‘Maratus robinson’ and is only around 2mm in real life. The model was made for a museum to help educate the public on the anatomy of this species, in particular their unusual cephalothorax and huge eyes. The hope is that it’s vibrant appearance will encourage curiosity and intrigue into these very misunderstood creatures.
