The Stegodyphus dumicola is one of only twenty to thirty spider species that is considered social. Sociality in spiders is defined as cooperative breeding in spiders that are non-territorial and permanently social. Although the Stegodyphus dumicola, mainly live-in groups, they have also been found to live solitarily. The Stegodyphus dumicola groups range from a few individuals to a few hundred spiders. They colonize, construct, and maintain the same web. They cooperate in childcare and gathering prey. Spiders will tend to live in the same colony they were born in, leading to a group that is made of several generations of related individuals. Foraging behavior has been observed to be equally divided amongst members of the colony.
