Red-headed Mouse Spider

Description:

4 cm long, red nodules at the head

Habitat:

Mouse spiders live in oval burrows up to a metre in length, often constructed in the banks of water courses. The female's burrow usually has a hinged lid and is a branched 'Y' shape. These spiders are common but are very secretive and rarely seen. Heavy rain often forces them out of their burrows and this is when they may be encountered.
