More Info on this species
I've posted a web page on my site with more photos and a short video of a male appearing to do a display with his front legs. In a separate video, the male waves one last time, puts his front legs out like Superman and flies away.

"H. hirsutus is easily distinguished from other Habronattus in having the ventral surface of the first femur concave and shiny black, with a narrow greenish-yellow stripe along the anterior margin."
