Life cycle

This spider is nocturnal and hides during the day. [4] It makes no web or shelter of any kind and hides under leaves in the day. [4] The female carries its eggs in a spherical sac until they hatch, after which the spiderlings may ride on the female until able to fend for themselves. [4]
