Figure 20. Selected sequential frames from a 25fps video of the Fan dance of a male Maratus candens. As in Figure 16, green arrows indicate the lower positions of the opisthosoma, touching the underlying surface at least once per cycle (4 down+up cycles/16.08s or 0.25Hz). Movement of the opisthosoma is not completely smooth, but includes some low-amplitude waving or bobbing (Figure 22). The attentive female (♀ #1) can be seen in the foreground.
