Editing Tooth Cave spider (section)

==Distribution and habitat==
In 2012, ''Tayshaneta myopica'' was known from caves in [[Travis County, Texas|Travis County]] and [[Williamson County, Texas|Williamson County]] to the northwest of [[Austin, Texas]]. Six locations were given on a distribution map for the species, although precise details of the locations have not been given, partly for conservation reasons. The caves occur in [[Edwards Plateau|Edward's Plateau]], a [[limestone]] ("[[karst]]") region of Central Texas. ''Tayshaneta'' spiders appear to spend most of their lives in their web, except for mature males. However, individuals of ''T.&nbsp;myopica'' from four nearby caves (Tooth Cave, Root Cave, Gallifer Cave and Tight Pit) have been shown to have identical [[Mitochondrial DNA|mitochondrial]] and [[nuclear DNA]] [[haplotype]]s, suggesting that movement between the sites does take place. Individuals were seen suspended beneath low sheet webs, from which they dropped when disturbed.<ref name=LedfPaquCokeCamp12/>
