C. mildei usually has a pale green or tan body, with darker brown palpi and chelicerae.

Each leg ends in double claws, and the front pair is significantly longer (up to two times the size).

[4] C. mildei is native to Europe and North Africa through the Caucasus to Central Asia.

[1] It is widespread across the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, and is more often found inside rather than outside.

[citation needed] C. mildei is a dominant predator of S. littoralis (a moth species) in Africa and Middle Eastern regions.
