| The life expectancy of spiders varies. The growth of the body is severely limited by a rigid external skeleton. When Araneae want to shed their skin they retreat into hiding and stop eating. While most spiders hang from a thread while they are shedding their skin, tarantulas lie on their backs. | | |

Having found a good landing point, they put their abdomen on the solid ground and move themselves backwards with tracking the prey over the shore. They crush them with their mandibles. The exoskeleton of the prey gets covered over and over again with intestinal secretions. The prey is then kneaded into a pulpy mass which can be sucked up by the larvae. This takes 2-3 minutes. Finally the larva leaves the emptied skeleton and creeps forward back into the water. Cannibalism can become so prevalent among the larvae that they prefer to eat each other than to attack other insects. | | |

They live (two generations at once) in a web on the upper side of the leaves of their food plants (including lichwort, comfrey and stinging nettle), and eat the leaves down to the skeleton. At the end of their development, the larvae pupate in a thick, white cocoon inside a leaf or near the veins on the leaf surface, causing the leaf to roll up. The pupae are yellowish-brown and overwinter. | | |
