The jumping spider's sexes are usually distinct. Males have brightly colored hairs on their legs. On some of the jumping spiders the females are bigger than the males. They use their bright colors in visual courtship in which the colored or metallic parts of the body are displayed, the males then dance around in a vibrational or zigzag movements. Along with dancing the males also use drum sounds and buzzing noises to get the female's attention. And if there are two males involved they will have a "dance off" to show who is the most impressive. After mating, the male offers itself as a self sacrifice for when the eggs hatch.
