He is the Peacock Spider or.. As Wikipedia says:

Maratus is a spider genus of the family Salticidae (jumping spiders).[1] These spiders are commonly referred to as peacock spiders due to the males' colorful and usually iridescent patterns on the upper surface of the abdomen often enhanced with lateral flaps or bristles, which they display during courtship. Females lack these bright colors, being cryptic in appearance. In at least one species, Maratus vespertilio, the expansion of the flaps also occurs during ritualised contests between males. The male display and courtship dance are complex, involving visual and vibratory signals.

They’re native to northern Australia, so odds of ever seeing one are rare.

They look like exotic jumping spiders.

Not a danger to humans either.
