A spider colony of 69,000 individuals of Tegenaria domestica and more than 42,000 of Prinerigone vagans, covering a surface area of over 100 m², was found in Sulfur Cave, a chemoautotrophic sulfidic ecosystem located on the Albania-Greece border. See more here: doi.org/10.3897/subt...

Ever wondered if #colonial spider webs can exist... in a #Sulfur #Cave?! Yes, it’s real—and it is between Albania🇦🇱 and Greece🇬🇷! This study reveals how #Tegenaria domestica form dense colonies in a toxic cave ecosystem—supported by sulfur-based chemoautotrophic life. 🕷🕸
