It is often mistaken with the similarly named Carparachne aureoflava, or more commonly known as the wheel spider from the same location.

It taps its foremost legs on the sand to send messages to other white lady spiders.

[1] One of the major features that characterizes its nocturnal behavior is its specialized vision, using eight eyes in different orientations to capture a panoramic view of the surroundings.

L. arenicola spiders use temporal summation in order to be able to see dim lighting during night-time wanderings.

Other characteristics, including eye arrangement, pedipalp structure, tibial claws, and prosoma dimensions, do not predict differences in sex.

The spiders reside in burrows with a territory that extend across an approximate 3 meter radius within bare dunes of the region.

As exclusively nocturnal creatures, L. arenicola spiders remain hidden in their burrows to protect themselves from the heat of the desert sun.

The specificity of the burrow's dimensions create cooler temperatures in which the spiders preferentially reside.

[7] L. arenicola are considered polyphagous since they can feed on a large variety of foods that remain constant across seasons.

Egg clutches are enclosed in a 5 mm thick cocoon, hidden about 12 cm deep in the burrow.

[4] L. arenicola engage in long-distance wandering late at night in pursuit of mates before returning to their burrows.

[9] L. arenicola is a promiscuous species, engaging in mating behaviors upon encountering a spider of the opposite sex.

[10] This can be partially attributed to the increased risk of mortality upon nocturnal wandering beyond the 3 m territory radius.

Drumming is seen mostly during wandering away from the burrow and has adapted as a method of signaling other adult L. arenicola of its presence, either for mating purposes or to keep away.

However, the male must ensure that these seismic signals are distinguishable from those of other predators to prevent being attacked and killed by the female spider.

AMEs are classified as principal eyes because they have a reversed retina with muscles that have control over the direction and magnitude of the receptive field, while ALEs, PMEs, and PLEs have no muscular retinal control and an inverse retina with a reflecting tapetum behind it which aids in night vision.

[5] The visual fields of the lateral eyes (ALEs and PLEs) are elongated along a horizontal plane and overlap.

This differs from other spider species, in which vision does not play a significant role in nocturnal visualization.
