Haplodrassus minor

Local name: taregråedderkopp

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Haplodrassus minor faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized coastal and sandy environments. Urban development and recreational activities along coastlines have reduced available habitat, while changes in vegetation structure due to invasive plant species alter the microhabitat conditions this ground-dwelling spider requires. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting coastal dune systems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This ground-dwelling spider inhabits coastal dune systems, sandy heathlands, and dry grasslands with sparse vegetation. It typically occurs in areas with loose sandy soils where it can construct its characteristic ground-level retreats beneath stones or in small burrows.
