Species text
The centre of distribution in Britain is the East Thames Corridor in south Essex and north Kent (Harvey et al., 2002). The species is recorded from only 16 ten-kilometre squares in Britain, and many of its habitats are threatened by development. It is currently assigned Scarce A status in a national status review in preparation. The spider is strongly associated with dry, warm, sunny open habitats containing a proportion of bare ground. The spider makes an igloo-like retreat and feeds on ants such as the common black ant Lasius niger. References
