Dipluridae Cethegus sp.

This family includes some of the smallest mygalomorp­hs. They are swift little spiders that build extremely dense and extravagan­t webs between cracks on soil banks and beneath debris. They have distinctly long spinnerets and eat a diet of mainly snails that become trapped in their dense webs.
