Social huntsman and their behaviour

The cycle of the colony starts with a female that finds a mate. Males wander around throughout the night and search for females using pheromones, and once they see the female, he mates. Like other huntsmen, the female is aggressive towards the male sometimes and, lots of the time, eats the male after mating. Around 3 to 5 months later, the eggs are laid, and they hatch 1 to 2 months later. In my experience, Delena cancerides slings are incredibly large, with almost 10mm leg span with a 5mm body. Most other huntsmen species, even some of the largest species such as Beregama aurea and Typostola barbata, have young smaller than a 5mm leg span. Albeit, there are fewer eggs than all other huntsman species, and the egg sacs are modified to be plastered to a piece of bark instead of a sac with silk strands. Most of the time, there are less than 100 slings but considering their survival rates are close to 100%, most of the slings get reasonably large. Once these eggs hatch, the mother crowds over them for a week or so until they have their second moult. After this, they move about but not far from the mother. They stay with the mother for six months until they turn sub-adult. Once they reach this stage, they leave the mother to start a new colony, and the mother usually lays another egg sac. After only one mating, the mother can hold onto the spermatophore for up to 5 other egg sacs. The mother's time between each egg sac is frequently around five months.
