The rare spider species Tegenaria silvestris is mostly found in caves, or on dumps; sometimes it occurs on forest edges, or in dry forests. It constructs its web under tree trunks and dead wood, and in tree caves.[citation needed]
It was transferred to the genus Malthonica in 2005, but back to Tegenaria in 2013.[1][2]
