Patu silho
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Patu silho faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely small size and specialized microhabitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental disturbances. Deforestation and land conversion for human activities have fragmented the remaining suitable habitat patches, while climate change may alter the delicate moisture and temperature conditions this tiny spider requires for survival.
Habitat
Patu silho inhabits leaf litter and low vegetation in tropical forests, requiring specific microhabitat conditions with appropriate moisture levels and temperature ranges. This minute spider is found in undisturbed forest floor environments where it can construct its tiny webs among decomposing organic matter.
