Spiders of the genus Philodromus are elusive, predatory creatures of fields, orchards, and woods. The name pernix, meaning lively, as applied to one of the large, grey species that frequent weathered bark and wooden structures is in one sense descriptive of the entire group. Although they seem to spend much time in seclusion under bark scales and in similar places, they are fast runners in the open. Their quick stops and starts, in combination with their flattened, grey or brownish bodies, make these spiders difficult both to find and to collect.
