Eresus ruficapillus – jaskrawo ubarwiony pająk rurkowy
The Eresus ruficapillus, also known as the red-headed tube spider, fascinates with its unusual colouring and interesting behaviour. This small but striking spider is characterised by its dramatic colour contrast: During the mating season, the males present a bright red head section and an abdomen covered in black with white dots, while the females have a deep dark colouring throughout.
This species is often found in the warmer regions of Europe, where it favours dry and sandy habitats. Eresus ruficapillus does not place high demands on terrarium design, but does require sufficient space to build its characteristic burrows. A terrarium of at least 20 x 20 x 20 cm is recommended in order to support the natural behaviour of this spider.
The tube spiders of this species are best known for their remarkable hunting strategies. They rely on their well-camouflaged deciduous tubes to surprise unsuspecting prey. The terrarium should therefore contain a layer of fine sand with leaves and small twigs loosely scattered over it to enable them to use this hunting technique.
The care of Eresus ruficapillus is uncomplicated, which makes it an ideal candidate for both experienced and ambitious beginners in terraristics. Their impressive colours and interesting behaviour make them a jewel for every terrarium.

This not only contributes to the health of your spider, but also allows you to observe the fascinating behaviour of these extraordinary animals up close.
