It’s a Peacock Spider Lightsaber Battle Rave

Here’s some randomness for your day – back in 2011 a naturalist journeyed to the Stirling Range in Western Australia and captured footage of the courtship of a Sarah’s peacock spider (Maratus sarahe), the only footage of the species that existed up to that point.

And then, a couple of years later, some random dude turned the whole thing into a badass lightsaber battle set to techno music. Because this is the internet.

Here’s the original footage, if you’re more into science or whatever.
