About Habronattus viridipes (Hentz, 1846)
Habronattus viridipes, originally described by Hentz in 1846, is a species of jumping spider. It is distributed across the eastern United States, ranging as far west as Minnesota and Texas, and also occurs in southern Canada. Individuals of this species are brownish-black, and reach a body size of 5.5 millimetres, equal to 0.22 inches. This species is distinguished by green front legs. To attract females for mating, males perform a courtship dance while displaying their green front legs. If a female accepts the male's dance, the pair will mate.
