Amblyocarenum walckenaeri is a remarkable spider species belonging to the Arachnida class, specifically within the Mygalomorphae infraorder. This species has gained attention due to its distinctive characteristics and distribution in the Comunidad Valenciana, as well as other parts of the Mediterranean region.

Amblyocarenum walckenaeri is known for its adaptability to different environments and is often found in a variety of habitats, from coastal areas to inland regions. Its unique traits include:

• Appearance: The bodies of these spiders are robust, with a hairy texture that provides a distinctive appearance. Their coloration typically ranges from dark brown to black, allowing them to blend with their surroundings.
• Size: Adults can reach a noticeable size, making them one of the larger representatives of their infraorder. However, their size can vary depending on environmental factors.
• Web Structure: Unlike typical spiders, Amblyocarenum walckenaeri constructs funnel-like retreats which are often hidden under rocks or within vegetation. These retreats are used both for protection and as a strategic position from which to ambush prey.
• Behavior: This species is primarily nocturnal, emerging from its retreat at night to hunt. It is known to be a predator that feeds on various insects and other small arthropods.
• Reproduction: Mating often involves complex courtship rituals. Females can be quite territorial and may aggressively defend their retreats.

In the Comunidad Valenciana, individuals interested in studying local biodiversity may observe these spiders in natural parks and other protected areas. They play essential roles in their ecosystems as both predators and prey, contributing to the balance of their local environments.

Although not commonly referred to by local names, their presence highlights the rich arachnid diversity found in the region and underscores the importance of conservation efforts to protect these and other unique species.
