This dangerous insect lives in the desert, where it burrows into the sand and patiently waits for prey. As soon as someone passes by, it leaps out with lightning speed, impales the victim and drags it under the sand, where it suffocates it; a victim caught by surprise can defend itself under the sand only with great difficulty.

When two individuals of opposite sex meet, they mate; the female usually kills the male after mating and then lays eggs for the rest of her life. Where more females live, the desert area becomes impassable.
