As with most salticidae spiders, members of this genus are known for their ability to jump with agility, and for their strong vision.

These supply lateral vision, while the forward four are adapted to detailed, three-dimensional vision for purposes of estimating the range, direction, and nature of potential prey, permitting the spider to direct its attacking leaps with great precision.

They construct silken "pup tents", where they shelter from bad weather and sleep at night.

They molt within these shelters, build and store egg cases within them, and also spend the winter in them.
