Pisaurina brevipes
Straight-banded Nursery Web Spider
Pisaurina brevipes is a nursery web spider found in the eastern United States and Canada. It closely resembles the more common Pisaurina mira but is distinguished by proportionally shorter legs and straighter edges on the abdominal band. Females measure 11–13 mm in body length, males approximately 10.8 mm. The species favors grasslands, bogs, and swamps, though detailed natural history remains poorly documented.
