My brother and I caught this Arizona Black Hole Spider (Kukulcania arizonica) at the nearest lake to our house, and this is the first time we have caught a spider of the Filistatidae family (Crevice Weavers). She is nearly an inch in length which isn't the final size this particular spider can get up to, I researched and learned that they can get up to approximately 1.3 inches in length without accounting for the legs. The female counterpart of this species of spider may live for several years, with the male I wasn't able to find the lifespan but I assume it's somewhere near a year (less than the females common among true spiders). I have had this spider for a couple weeks, and she was struggling to make a hole (what they do in the wilderness), because the the soil we used consisted of many pebbles. Then, we tried to feed her and surprisingly she ate three different times. Furthermore, We decided to make an artificial hole with a piece of cardboard, and it soon turned out to work.
