Habronattus californicus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is native to western North America, occurring in California and the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. Like other members of the genus Habronattus, males likely possess elaborate courtship displays involving visual and acoustic signals. The genus is known for having some of the most complex multimodal courtship behaviors among terrestrial invertebrates.

spider beetles
Mezium is a genus of spider beetles (subfamily Ptininae) with a global distribution concentrated in two main regions: the western Mediterranean from the Iberian Peninsula to Morocco and the Canary Islands, and central and southern Africa. Species in this genus are primarily cave-dwelling, feeding on animal feces and bat guano, though several have adapted to human-made structures such as barns and chicken coops. The genus includes notable species such as Mezium affine (shiny spider beetle) and Mezium americanum (American spider beetle).
Opatroides punctulatus
Opatroides punctulatus is a darkling beetle native to the Old World that has established adventive populations in the United States. First detected in the U.S. over 20 years ago, the species is expanding its range in the Pacific Northwest and has been confirmed in southwest Idaho. It is well adapted to Mediterranean climates and functions as a detritivore, with documented populations in stored-product environments in its native range.
