About Habronattus pyrrithrix
Habronattus pyrrithrix belongs to Salticidae in the order Araneae. Its recorded origin status is introduced.
Natural history and identification
Habronattus pyrrithrix is a jumping spider with conspicuously ornamented adult males and more cryptic females. The sexes are illustrated separately in the University of Florida account, which is useful because a single photograph cannot represent both adult appearances. Identification should compare the mature animal with the species illustrations; juvenile coloration alone is insufficient.
