Adult males can be found from April to June.

[1] Their strikingly pink webs are built below rocks.

One egg sac contains several hundred eggs, and spiderlings seem to disperse much more than other Eresus species (using ballooning), so that they are not found in large clusters.

The species name is in honor of Charles Athanase Walckenaer.

Eresus walckenaeri moerens C. L. Koch, 1846 (Afghanistan)
