575: 276: 297: 31: 262: 44: 251:). This spider has been studied living in large natal colonies (ranging from tens to hundreds of highly related spiders) in large, unkempt webs. Each colony is composed mainly of females, where a minority (forty percent) act as reproducers, and a majority (sixty percent) remain childless and take care of the young. Males live a shorter lifespan, during which they will largely remain in the natal nest. Females are known for extreme 456:
are classified as orb-weaving spiders. Compact silk, spongy colony nests are roughly 5 centimetres (1.96850 in) to 30 centimetres (12 in) in diameter and will vary based on the spider colony size. When new females create a new colony, webs will begin as monodomous, where there is a single

Aside from a dense outer layer, the nests consist of a tunnel network system. The interior silk is closely textured and contains tunnels where the spiders mainly occupy. To expand the nest, females will perform local budding of different nests when this female disperses after mating. Budded nests are
515:. Males will begin to fight over female territory in the breeding season and will compete for females. They will normally mate within the parent colony. If males do emigrate, they join the nests of solitary females. Females will tend to be in control during mating duration and will be selective in 422:
Larger spiders are more likely to take part in cooperative prey capture. During capture, many females will engage with the prey at the same time, injecting its digestive juices into the prey through extra-oral digestion. These digestive enzymes break down the prey into a liquid for other spiders to

The nest of the web has been discovered to be detrimental to thermoregulation, where temperatures inside the nest have been found to exceed forty degrees celsius. Relative humidity has been found to be lower compared to the surrounding environment. The nest does not provide protection from bushfire
440:
Within the spider’s social group, all spiders in the group take part in web construction, maintenance, and prey capture. Nests are large web structures composed of a compact combination of silk and nearby branch or desert brush. These nests are built in spiny bush twigs or trees close to the ground

live in groups with a high female to male sex ratio. Population founding is the responsibility of females; it is when groups of related or unrelated female individuals disperse upon maturation to create a new nest. The secondary sex ratio is 12% males on average. Amongst the females in the colony,

commonly falls to widespread fungal infection. Larger, spongey nests are susceptible of fungus propagation because they tend to allow for a moist environment. If the nest is able to dry in the sunlight, fungal growth would cease. However, if the nest maintained a moist environment for up to one to

Group foraging behavior varies between colonies of different size and composition. It is more likely that smaller colonies will initiate attack early and begin an attack more quickly than larger colonies. If a group has a wide range in spider behavior or boldness level personality types, the group

When the spiderlings are second stage instars, females will capture prey and regurgitate a nourishing fluid. When spiderlings reach final instars, females sacrifice their bodies for the kin. Spiderlings mount the female's dorsal region and consume her bodily fluids until she passes in an act of

Within the large colonies, female spiders share maternal care of the brood, regardless of whether or not she is the mother. Roughly 60% of females in the colony remain virgins and engage in extreme allomaternal care. Egg sack maintenance, construction and defense are the responsibility of the

have been found to follow a “shy” and a “bold” personality, where shy spiders are latent and do not respond to prey capture stimuli, and bold spiders are active and seek to forage. Smaller spiders tend to have a bold personality.
