). A large number of specimens were observed by RT on a residential wall, where female specimens constructed small sheet webs housing a cluster of eggs. They were observed to primarily predate ants and dipterans. During prey capture, the females employed a dynamic strategy, swiftly manoeuvring around their prey and utilizing a continuous silk-spinning technique to entrap and immobilize the target (RT pers. obs.). This behaviour is in no way unique, having been reported in several other congeners (
