Ischnothele caudata

Ischnothele caudata is a web-building spider recorded from Mexico to Brazil. Its long rear spinnerets produce extensive silk, and the World Spider Catalog places it in Ischnothelidae rather than the older broad Dipluridae grouping. Specialist keepers should preserve breeder records and provide secure, ventilated housing with sheltered retreat sites, access to moisture and space to anchor webs.

Offer suitable insects and avoid unnecessary disturbance. Females lay eggs in silk sacs and have been observed caring for young.
