它害怕时会做什么？

When it senses a threat it either returns to its burrow, if one is nearby, or runs away.1

值得了解

事实

It is the largest wolf spider in North America.1

Its burrows can go as deep as 30 cm and are about 4°C cooler than the surface, which helps it survive hot desert conditions.1

Females carry their egg sacs on their bodies while the eggs develop, and they are often seen sitting near the top of their burrow with the sac raised up.1

Newly hatched spiderlings stay with their mother for their first six days.1

Male spiders flee from threats more often than females, partly because they own fewer burrows to escape into.1
