). In such tree-nests, spiders make use of pre-existing hollows and holes in the tree trunks into which they can snugly fit, or make use of hollows which are filled with woody debris and soil into which they can easily burrow. Burrows have also been found, at similar heights above the ground surface, in old rubble walls which hold back soil at field margins; here the spiders burrow into the clayey soil which fills the cracks between the individual stones. In both tree-nests and wall-nests, the burrow lids are flush with the vertical surface and dorsally hinged so that the trapdoor opens vertically upwards, with the shaft directed into the trunk/ wall perpendicular to the vertical axis.

in depth for mature individuals, with burrow width varying according to the size (maturity) of the individual. Ground-nests in deep soil have, on average, deeper shafts than tree or wall-nests. In all cases, the burrow shaft is relatively simple in construction; it has entire, thick lining of silk with no internal doors, plugs or other features; and it is unbranched.

The resident spiders themselves respond to disturbance by holding the hinged door very tightly; if the door is prised open using forceps (which takes considerable force) the spider may either retreat immediately head-up to the bottom of the shaft, or else repeatedly attempt to close the door while striking the forceps aggressively with its chelicerae. Recently hatched juveniles are retained within the mother’s burrow, from which they disperse and apparently establish themselves in close proximity, as

populations are always localized and often quite dense. Moulted exoskeletons are discarded from the burrow and may be observed outside near the burrows if they are sheltered from wind. During the aestivation period, the door to the burrow is sealed shut from the inside, but the door still remains exposed as under normal circumstances (i.e., the burrow lid is not concealed with soil during periods of inactivity). Most mature males emerge from their burrows and wander between the months of November and March, though a few individuals may appear outside this timeframe.
