A small species of spider, growing up to 3cm. They can be kept communally, working together to form a shared web structure as a home and for catching prey. They are an easy to care for species, requiring a dry, arid enclosure with plenty of anchor points for their web structures. They feed on suitably sized insects, such as fruit flies and crickets.
