). It is a fossil cave, almost horizontal and 145 m long with a roof height varying between 1-9 m with many calcite speleothem formations. It is one of the tourist caves in Turkey, open to public access since 2003, with formed tracks and fixed lighting that extend almost the full length of the cave. Specimens were collected or observed during 3 visits on 20.03.2011, 10.07.2011 and 16.10.2011. Adult specimens from both sexes were only collected in July, but also observed in October; while only subadults could be found in March. Specimens were abundant in the dark zone all along the cave, located on their webs build on the speleothem formations.
