According to Professor Joel Ledford of UC Davis, for the most part, there is no information currently available on Tayshaneta microps life history.

Due to the difficulty of viewing the species and their rarity the exact diet of the Government Canyon Bat Cave Spider is not known.

[5] What we do know from the few observed Government Canyon Bat Cave spiders and closely related species is the kind of webs they form and some base behavior.

If these unidentified spiders were classified as Tayshenata microps, then the occupation range would extend to include the Helotes Karst cave region.

[6] About ninety percent of caves in Bexar County are sealed from human entrance, preventing further research on Tayshaneta microps.

Tayshaneta microps are known to live in two caves in the Government Canyon State Natural Area, Northern Bexar County, Texas.

[6] While the two individuals obtained from Surprise Sink share the reduced eyes of Tayshaneta microps, they have not yet been confirmed as members of the species.

For example, the karst topography occupied by Tayshaneta microps consists of brittle, limestone caves abundant with sinks, fractures, and fissures.

[5] Closely related arthropods in Travis and Williamson Counties, Texas, have been observed to fall prey to fire ants.

[5] Such evidence leads experts to believe that Bexar County invertebrates are similarly affected by fire ant competition and predation.

Additionally, researchers suspect that Tayshaneta microps may exist in adjacent caves on privately owned land.

[7] Due to the regulations associated with land ownership, the preservation of potential arthropod habitats is dependent on consultations with landowners[7] The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) received a petition on January 16, 1992, to add Neoleptoneta microps to the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife.

KFRs are classified as distinct, protected cave areas to assist in the recovery of endangered karst invertebrates.

[8] The maintenance of KFRs calls for the elimination of the following: extensive human visitation, native plant and animal disturbance, invasive fire ants, and pollution.

The USFWS estimates a timeframe of 20 years to accomplish the delisting of Tayshaneta microps if its recovery actions are sufficiently funded and implemented[8]
