Mating occurs in late spring and eggs are deposited in June and July depending on environmental conditions. A retreat is frequently spun between cracks and crevices of boards or similar locations. This spider is frequently found under stones, in high grass, on bushes and fences, and both inside and on the exterior of buildings. They are now found throughout most of the United States and southern Canada, although they are apparently more common in the northeastern US and West Coast, with very few records from the Southeast and Plains states. The earliest record in North America may be a specimen that was collected in Illinois in 1933. Zebra jumpers are native to Europe and western Asia.

Note the large, dark chelicerae that project forward from the head (they are partially covered by the pedipalps, which are small, leg-like appendages males use during mating). Zebra species can be divided into three species plains zebra, mountain zebra, and Grevys zebra. Photograph by Kevin Pfeiffer via Bugguide, used under a CC BY-ND-NC 1.0 license.įigure 2. Male zebra names and female zebra names are extremely popular with people who like every zebra species with black and white stripes. This individual has reddish hairs on the opisthosoma. Males have very large, dark chelicerae that project forward. The females are often lighter in color than the males (Figures. Red Zebra Cichlids are hardy fish that is relatively easy to. In contrast, females will have 0-3 egg spots. Once the fish have reached maturity, males will have 4-7 egg spots. The opisthosoma (abdomen) has white or light-colored hairs arranged in opposing stripes with a band around the anterior end. Another way of distinguishing the difference between male and female Red Zebra Cichlids is by counting the number of egg spots on their anal fins.
Iridescent scales may appear near the eyes. They are readily identifiable by the pattern that is similar in both sexes: The prosoma (cephalothorax) has a white lateral band with additional white hairs in the eye region. However, both sexes produce the long call when placed in visual isolation. Zebra jumpers are relatively small spiders. More full-bodied than the males, a females belly balloons when it fills with eggs. Male zebras appear more torpedo-shaped, while females tend to have a larger belly. Males are a bit smaller and more slender than females. Scientific name: Salticus scenicus (Clerck, 1757)įamily: Salticidae (jumping Spiders) Description Both sexes have two pairs of barbels and the same stripes, but females are usually larger. Like other jumping spider species, these small, boldly patterned spiders do not have a medically significant bite and are considered beneficial to have around. Zebra jumpers are a non-native jumping spider that were introduced from Eurasia.
