Este ejemplar vivió 2 meses en la entrada de mi casa, tuve que sacarla y liberarla en el parque debido a limpieza de la zona, pude observar que es inofensiva, paciente, prefiere las noches para tejer su telaraña , sólo se mostrará a la defensiva si siente el peligro, en todo caso preferirá huir del mismo. Su alimentación era básicamente moscas de la humedad, algunas moscas comunes, polillas e insectos de menor tamaño; ahora vive en un árbol del parque.
