Info from Licensor: "I’m a wildlife photographer and the video was taken a few days ago in Danum Valley, Borneo. I walked around the lodge looking for jumping spiders, as they are amongst my favorite creatures, and I found this little guy who put out a show for me! It is Indopadilla jumping spider that mimics a scorpion and is definitely one of the most unique jumpers I’ve ever seen! I’m not certain if that was intended to be a mating dance (I’m flattered), or a try to look big and intimidating, but either way it is beyond adorable and exactly what I needed to start the new year!"
