I've never read before about them being in communities. I wonder if that means just large numbers or social like the sociable huntsman, Delena cancerides. My feedback is that the two I've come across were by themselves in a single web. Posted 11 months ago

  I found 15 in one web which I gues formed my thinking that they are communal. But now after several years I agree fully that me to only found them as individuals in a web. Why there were 15 in a web I can’t really explain and I thank you for your comment.
  I will check more but think that I will delete the comment about them being communal. Posted 11 months ago
