What it does
The species constructs a funnel-like web in short shrubs and bushes close to the ground or in trees. The capture web is sheet-like and composed of dense criss-crossing threads. At one end the web is drawn into a long funnel that descends into the base of a plant. The species has been sampled from the Savanna biome.
