N. Wooler. D. At Durham it is common in inhabited houses 

 and greenhouses; at Tynemouth, under stones in December, 

 spun up in a silken sac. It constructs a fine web of the form 

 typical of this family, that is, a strongly woven horizontal snare 

 narrowed at one corner into a tubular retreat. A Spider of 

 graceful form and exceedingly rapid movements. An attempt to 

 take it alive generally involves considerable excitement. Adult 

 in summer.
