Habronattus borealis

adult male-Massachusetts

This is a local Paradise Spider that I searched for for many years not realizing that I was actually finding them all along. I was finding the juveniles and penultimate males which look very different from the adults form. This is why I started a project a few years ago to document the transformation from penultimate male to the adult male form. This change is dramatic! Photo © copyright by Patrick Zephyr.
