After prey capture, C. signata climbed in the burrow, pushing aside and sometimes repairing the frayed inner surface. And then, the spider hooked and drew the inner surface of the burrow using pedipalps and Legs I-II (01:38~). After that, the spider climbed down to the bottom (02:40~), backed up and covered the entrance by silk webbing with spinnerets (03:27~).
