This species is very widespread in South Africa from, the Western Cape Province northwards through all provinces except the drier western areas. It extends far into Africa, through all countries as far north as Liberia and Ethiopia and Madagascar. it is the largest pit building species in the Afrotropics and the pits are always in very well sheltered situations, especially under buildings. Adults sometimes form aggregations, aligning themselves along branches |
