[2] It is a very shy spider, with nocturnal habits, building irregular webs under fallen tree trunks and debris, usually in dark places.

[citation needed] They live in dark, very dry cracks, warm regions with elevations below 500 m, quite common around or inside the houses of humans.

The venom is also capable of inducing myofibril necrosis and leukocyte infiltration causing damage to skeletal muscle.

Moderate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever and muscle pain are common with Loxosceles bites, especially from this species.
