Colonus puerperus is a species of jumping spider commonly found in the eastern United States. Its range stretches along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas , and north to Kansas , Illinois, and Pennsylvania.[2] It is usually found in grassy areas during the warmer months of the year.[3] Adult females are between 7 and 11 mm (0.3–0.4 in) in length.[3][4] Adult males are between 5 and 7 mm (0.2–0.3 in).[2][4]
The species name is from Latin puerperus, "just having born a child" (from puer, child, and pario, give birth).[citation needed]
