Abstract
Prey capture and subsequent behaviors of Calommata signata (Araneae: Atypidae) were observed and video-documented in the laboratory Our observations indicated that the spider captures various soil animals by using only its chelicerae. Furthermore, when closing the entrance of the burrow, the spider made a provisional cover of the entrance by hooking and drawing the inner surface of the burrow before covering the entrance with silk webbing from its spinnerets.
