They live on their own, are nocturnal, but they may bask during the day when night-time temperatures are too low. Ambush predators, they often lie in wait for an appropriate prey to come along, but they have also been known to actively hunt, in regions with a low concentration of suitable prey. The boa first strikes at the prey, grabs it with its teeth, then proceeds to constrict the prey until death before consuming it whole.

Another insect, known as the pigeon horn- tail (fig. 236), upon which Thalessa preys, deposits its eggs by means of a strong, piercing ovipositor, half an inch deep, in the trunks of growing trees. The young or larval horn-tail hatches as a soft-bodied white grub, which bores more deeply into the tree, filling up the burrow behind it with small chips. When a female Tha- lessa finds a tree infested by the horn-tail she selects a place which she judges is opposite one of its burrows, and elevating her long ovipositor in a loop
