L. parahybana are endemic to Brazil in the Atlantic forest region of the country; they are known from one area near Campina Grande.

[3] When threatened, the tarantula will raise its legs in the air, as well as the front of its body, in order to deter predators.

In the wild, the tarantulas inhabit the forest floor, where they stay in hiding places such as leaf litter, inside logs, or in burrows, or out in the open.

They are ambush predators, lying in wait, striking prey as it comes close, and quickly injecting venom to subdue it.

[3] In the wild, a salmon pink will feed mainly on large insects and, occasionally, amphibians and small reptiles.

Due to their exoskeleton and method of growth, salmon pinks, like many invertebrates, regularly moult out of their old skin (ecdysis).

Females have a tendency to give chase for a short while; males who are too slow are at risk of being eaten in order to sustain the future embryos.

They are also a cheaper option than a T. blondi; L. parahybana reproduces in such large numbers that the price of spiderlings is much lower.
