Indian ornamental tree spider, is one of the most popular arboreal tarantulas for amateur collectors. P.regalis parallels that of many arboreal spiders. In the wild individuals live in holes in tall trees where they make asymmetric funnel webs. Their primary prey consists of various flying insects, which they seize in flight and paralyze. The venom displays a high level of hyaluronidase activity, which may be associated with its potentially medically significant bite, with venom that may cause intense pain.
