Within the spider’s social group, all spiders in the group take part in web construction, maintenance, and prey capture. [3] Nests are large web structures composed of a compact combination of silk and nearby branch or desert brush. These nests are built in spiny bush twigs or trees close to the ground at a height of 0.5 to 1.5 meters high. [10]
Migidae, also known as tree trapdoor spiders, is a family of spiders with about 100 species in eleven genera. They are small to large spiders with little to no hair and build burrows with a trapdoor. [1] Some species live in tree fern stems.

P. candidus nests encompass the fruit on A. ligulata trees. This is beneficial to the trees, as the spider nests protect the fruit from predation. [5] One research project on this mutualistic relationship found that plants with nests have between 20 and 406 percent more seeds than those without. [5]
Auplopus carbonarius is a spider wasp of the family Pompilidae. Uniquely among the British group it constructs a nest of barrel-shaped cells in which spiders are stored and the larvae develop.

Spiders can build their nests in some unusual and cringe-inducing locations. On Wednesday, Reddit user, bsegovia, posted an image with a note, "Found this among a new pack of blueberries. Burned ...
These spiders have the ability to repair the nest since they rarely find the need to fully rebuild the threads. Most of the time, the first spider to emerge from the nest after rest observes the web and checks for any damage, and then the active female workers are responsible for the repair work.
This and the southern tree-dwelling funnel-web spider (Hadronyche cerberea) are the only two species of Australian funnel-web spiders that live predominantly in trees. It lives in rotting logs, branches and hollow furrows and pipes of trees, particularly tallowwood ( Eucalyptus microcorys ), as well as in epiphytes . [ 4 ]
