Portia is a genus of jumping spider that feeds on other spiders (i.e., they are araneophagic or arachnophagic). They are remarkable for their intelligent hunting behaviour, which suggests that they are capable of learning and problem solving, traits normally attributed to much larger animals. In captivity they will happily feed on flies
As in most species of the genus, the bodies of Portia labiata females are 7 to 10 millimeters long and their carapaces are 2.8 to 3.8 millimeters long. Males' bodies are 5 to 7.5 millimeters long, with carapaces 2.4 to 3.3 millimeters long.
