It builds three-dimensional webs in dark corners. Its nest is low down, at the base of small bushes, in tufts of grass or stubble, or among heaps of loose debris, often on the ground. Unlike L. geometricus, no nest has been recorded near a building. It has also been recorded from pistachio orchards.1
