***Habronattus*** is a genus in the family [Salticidae](/source/Salticidae) (jumping spiders). Most species are native to North America. They are commonly referred to as **paradise spiders** due to their colorful courtship ornaments and complex dances, similar to [birds-of-paradise](/source/Birds-of-paradise).[1][2] Males display intricate coloration, while females are cryptic.[3]
