A striking velvet spider from North and West Africa, Stegodyphus dufouri features a pale, ladybird-like body and thrives in warm, dry environments. Arboreal by nature, it constructs dense silk retreats in vegetation and is known for its communal tendencies—making it ideal for group setups. With a leg span of around 3 cm and a calm temperament, it’s a visually appealing and low-maintenance species for keepers interested in social arachnids.
