Yes, they do.

Keito was funny, scrunched at attention, chattering at it. I am glad I didn't tell a certain friend of ours it was spotted over our bed.

He's really beautiful. You know, as long as he stays an ocean away from me!

Do they hunt other spiders, or just bugs?

[anysia.livejournal.com]

I have been told they hunt just about anything they think they can take. I do like shining light on them at night, as their eyes look like a basket of gemstones.
