Its colour closely matches that of the tree trunks in which it lives.

It feeds on moths, ants, and other smaller spiders.

Its cocoon is generally laid in the holes or crevices of trees.

These spiders prefer proteinaceous foods over carbohydrates though they may accept foods containing carbohydrates under stressed conditions.

Males and females are not easily identified though differentiation is possible by observing their aggression and sometimes presence of white distinct patches on the abdomen (in case of females).
