Adanson's House Jumper

Natural history and identification

Male Hasarius adansoni are dark jumping spiders with conspicuous white markings on the palps and body. Females are larger and browner, with paler hairs and more variable abdominal markings. The museum identification account gives adult body lengths of roughly 4–8 mm for males and 7–10 mm for females. Mature male and female appearances should therefore be represented separately.
