https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_spider Zebra spiders are widespread across Europe, North America, and North Asia, where they are found throughout the Holarctic. This species is naturally associated with open habitats such as rock faces, shingle beaches and occasionally the trunks of trees.[5] Due to their preference for open, vertical habitats they are often found living in proximity to humans in urban habitat such as on garden fences and the walls of buildings.

Female zebra spiders are 5–9 mm long, while males are 5–6 mm. Male zebra spiders have distinctly larger chelicerae than females. Spiders in the family Salticidae have especially enlarged anterior median eyes, though the anterior and posterior lateral eyes are also large when compared to the very small posterior median eyes. In total there are eight eyes, with the very large anterior median eyes primarily responsible for its excellent binocular vision. These small spiders are black with white hairs that form stripes.

Patelė 5.0-7.0 mm, patinėlis - 5.0-6.0 mm. Abi lytys panašios, patinėlio cheliceros didesnės. Iš plonų verpalų daro trumpą iš abiejų pusių atvirą urvelį, kuriame pasislepia drėgnomis ir vėsiomis dienomis. Saulės atokaitoje gaudo nutūpusius vabzdžius. Gyvena prie pastatų ir pačiuose pastatuose, ant saulės apšviestų namų sienų, tvorų, akmenų.
