The purseweb spider, Britain’s only tarantula, is a stay-at-home species that primarily lives inside a silk tube resembling an old purse, which can be up to 25cm long. This unique structure limits their visibility but is essential for their survival, allowing them to remain hidden from predators while waiting for prey to pass by.
