Jumping Spider with red mask - Habronattus pyrrithrix - Male
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
March 3, 2011
Size: about 3/16"
Fairly common in and around my lawn. Red mask on front only. Green hairs beneath first pair of legs, orange flash on third pair of legs. I've observed apparent courtship display with light-beige female.
