Are there any spiders in the UK/Ireland that make burrows?
Apart from the purse web spider, I was just wondering, I'd love to keep something that makes a burrow/hole.
:)

Hello, I found a few websites that might be helpful in answering your question concerning burrowing spiders in the UK or Ireland area.

Besides the "Purse Web" spider, there are MANY different species of Wolf Spiders, among other species, that burrow and these species can be found easily within your area so no worries, you'll find a burrowing spider! :p

- Just do a Google search for "species of burrowing spiders in the UK or Ireland" and I'm sure you will find some information to help! Good Luck! :)

Here is a book called, "The Spiders of Great Britain and Ireland" with TONS of information on species in the area;
