). No observations were ever carried out in winter due to the high snow coverage in suitable areas. During the summer season, different cohorts were found simultaneously. The highest abundance of adult specimens occurred in July and August, likely corresponding with the mating period. Males were encountered less frequently and their density was generally low, an observation that may be possibly biased by the higher mobility of males and the greatest difficulty in catching them.

Females with cocoons have been found always in their retreats from the end of June to the early days of September. Females build circular and silk-lined retreat under stones, with a small opening in the silken walls, occasionally digging an additional small recess into the soil. Females with cocoons did not seem to be territorial, as up to

exhibit maternal cares of both cocoons and spiderlings. They carry their cocoon underneath their abdomens attached to the spinnerets. If they lose their egg sac, or if the egg sac is removed, they look for it in the surrounded area until they found it or a surrogate (e.g. a rounded piece of cotton). Under laboratory conditions, females fed while carrying egg sacs or pulli. Female looks after the cocoon for around one month after the laying, until the offspring hatch. The first moult occurs inside the egg sac while the second-instar juveniles emerge from the cocoon through a cleft in the seam, and climb onto their mother opisthosoma, and, occasionally, carapace. Maternal care for spiderlings lasts one week to ten days, after which the spiderlings disperse by falling off from the female body. Shortly after, they moult to the third instar. On average, the duration of the instars is 40 days, with earlier stages moulting every two weeks and later stages being longer up to two months. Given the remarkable size reached by adult specimens, and considering the duration of the growing season, it seems likely that the specimens require an average of 10-12 instars to complete the development, reaching the adult stage over multiple years.

As proved by the specimen collected in earliest time of the growing season, overwintering individuals are generally adult females or immatures at different stages in their development. Unfortunately, we have no data on overwintering behaviour. However, we observed a tendency of the individuals to aggregate during the growing season in areas of high suitability (see, e.g., the high population density observed in
<date box="[670,775,1682,1708]" pageId="8" pageNumber="7" value="2019-07">July 2019</date>
at Colle della Ciriegia, a highly suitable site where many specimens have been found in a few minutes), and to disaggregate when the temperature drops (no specimens found in samplings carried out in the same locality in mid-October). It seems likely that specimens are very mobile within the rocky areas, showing a higher tendency to aggregate in the snowfree period and to disaggregate as the cold season approaches.
