Hibana are a genus of spiders commonly referred to as ghost spiders. They are common throughout South and Central America. They are nocturnal hunter spiders and usually spend their daytime hidden and protected within a layer of silk – a sac. Their common name ‘ghost spiders’ comes from the fact that they are often observed behind the semi transparent silk of their silken daytime retreats.
