 They live in burrows up to 32 cm deep.These spiders construct an arrangement of leaves and twigs radiating out from the burrow entrance to serve as remote sensing device - any movement alerts the spider to the presence of prey.Rather than foraging only at the burrow mouth (as many other trapdoor spiders do), these spiders charge out to grab animals on the trip-lines - especially ants, but also beetles, cockroaches, millipedes and moths.
