The red spider is a solitary creature. They can be seen in groups only during breeding season, feeding or their young. Even if these squirrels are in groups, they try to avoid each other. They even try to avoid each other when they eat and don't stay with another person on the same tree at the same time. Red spiders are diurnal and have many resting days. They don't spend a lot of time jumping, climbing, or doing other activities. Red spiders are usually quiet. Only when singing, they will make a short and loud sound. They may also let out a tantrum, scream, and chase themselves.
