I’m from the west of middle east and really want to see one.They are really hard to find.Anyone knows or has experience about finding them?
This is something I’d recommend using iNaturalist itself for, eg https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=50.905814306495145&nelng=58.237953128253025&subview=map&swlat=27.765232838404803&swlng=29.84928125325303&taxon_id=62050
See how to search iNat observations:

The only lil spiders i can find are cellar spiders and jumping spiders(specifically the emerald sassacus spider)
I live in middle east and they are native here.
Due to their hidden lifestyle living in burrows, they are not easy to observe and females are basically impossible to observe unless you know exactly what and where to look for and are willing to dig them out (which I would not recommend as this might destroy the whole chance of those females to successfully reproduce, as the burrow is quite a huge investment for them).
Your best chance is to look out for the beautyful males, which will openly run around when adult and searching for females. The link tiwane gave you will help you to get an idea when is the best time in the year to do so.. you will realize that the males are mostly observed in the same 1 or 2 months of the years - depending on the species.
