Habronestes bradleyi is a spider species of the Zodariidae family. Like most Zodariidae H. bradleyi is an ant-eating spider. It detects the alarm pheromone of ants to locate them. It raises its forelegs which contain the chemoreceptors to detect the pheromone. However they themselves also mimic the pheromone.
