Figure 4 in Courtship display by a male Stenaelurillus sp. from Tamil Nadu (Araneae: Salticidae: Aelurillina)

Figure 4. Two sequences (1-3, 4-6) showing sudden transition to a fully elevated position by a male Stenaelurillus sp. in front of a female, with legs I and II, both with bands of bright white setae, fully extended. In this remarkable display, the pedipalps are rotated down to expose the chelicerae, but still held together to fully expose the bright white setae on the upper side (prolateral side) of each pedipalp. The fringes on the anterior side of legs I and legs II are also fully extended in this position. The dark black colour of the underside of the opisthosoma (visible in 3) provides a strong contrast to the bright white setae of the pedipalps.
