The spider digs burrows up to  deep, where the temperature is relatively constant through the seasons. When prey triggers any of the trip-lines radiating from the burrow's entrance, the spider runs out of the burrow to capture ants, beetles, cockroaches, millipedes or moths. This is unlike many trapdoor spiders that very rarely leave their burrow.
Spiders create burrows at great depths where temperatures remain consistent throughout the year. When prey triggers trip-lines leading out of the burrow, the spider emerges to capture insects like ants, beetles, cockroaches, millipedes, or moths. This behavior is distinct from many trapdoor spiders that rarely leave their burrows.
