Range & habitat
Habronattus pyrrithrix is found in grassy areas covered in plant material or by bodies of water. They feed on various prey, including flies, caterpillars, aphids, and other spiders. They display a color preference when foraging by avoiding yellow or red-colored prey. This may be because red and yellow colors are linked with prey that are capable of utilizing chemical defenses, such as ladybugs, and may be harmful if consumed by predators.
