, 1/60 f/18.0, ISO 1600, hand held.

Mirabilis, cioè ammirevole, è probabilmente riferito alla dedizione nelle cure parentali di mamma ragno. Dopo l'accoppiamento la femmina costruisce un ovisacco che trasporta trattenendolo con i cheliceri, quindi non può cacciare né si nutre per circa due settimane. Poco prima della nascita dei piccoli l'ovisacco viene fissato alla vegetazione e protetto con una cupola di tela, la madre lacera il sacco e resta di guardia. Alla nascita i piccoli si raccolgono nelle immediate vicinanze dell'ovisacco fino alla prima muta e così la madre, che nel frattempo non si è nutrita e spesso non sopravvive.
