Iinyaniso
It may live in a mutually beneficial relationship with frogs such as Ramanella nagaoi, sharing tree holes that can contain eggs or juveniles from the spider, the frog, or both.1
In a related observation, a frog (Chiasmocleis ventrimaculata) and a different tarantula (Xenesthis immanis) were seen together, with the spider protecting the frog from predators and the frog guarding the spider's eggs from ants.1
When tree holes are scarce, several of these spiders may live together in the same tree.1
Its legspan is probably the second largest in its genus, behind Poecilotheria rufilata.1
