+1 :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:Try to lure it out! I remember your last "hole" thread, and the curiosity kept me up at night. I'm not asking for a pic of whatever lives in there just find out and let us know, please.

Me tinks y'all meen dem pet roks?Nao is that one o em pet holes I's ben heerin aboot?
I was under the impression most t's have some sort of signal wires going to the entrance of their burrow, did you ever try teasing the original inhabitant out? I also wonder what made it choose "there" I mean I know they will usually follow a wall when they find it, but it is as if it just stopped half way along the wall and said "AHA perfect!" and began digging it also seems to angle under the stone work there.
Been wondering the same thing myself. I don't think it's humidity if the one that dug the holes at the back of the house is the same one. It's much damper back there. Also, this isn't dirt, it's clay. MAJOR undertaking. When dried out a full swing of a heavy hoe will penetrate this pseudo pavement maybe 2 or even 3 inches. If it was me I'd fix what I already have rather than start a new Herculean excavation job. Weird.It makes me curious of course, what the threshold for a spider is between " I can fix this" and "time for a new hole" the one caved in, Fixed, yet others so quickly abandoned, I also wonder if the burrows dry out as you've been having a drought, haven't you? if the spider has been switching holes to find more humidity
