Tarantula spider belongs to the family Theraphosidae. Most of the big and hairy species but there are smaller species as well. There are about 900 species of tarantulas and tarantulas are found across the world, from the tropical environment to the desert. Some arboreal species while others live and hunt on the ground. The name originally referred to a tarantula spider wolf Europe only and can be traced to the Italian city of Taranto. The name was then used for all spiders Theraphosids when Europe began to explore areas that have a lot of big spiders, such as America.
Tarantula is a particularly predatory attack other insects, but larger species will also eat small reptiles, amphibians, rodents and birds that have resulted in their being referred to as the bird spider. Venomous tarantulas and use poison to kill their prey. But most of the species are harmless to humans. The most dangerous species produce toxins that will cause extreme discomfort, sometimes lasting for days, but the bite will not kill humans unless an allergic reaction occurs. No deaths have been associated with a tarantula spider. Although they do not spin nets for hunting, all species of tarantulas can produce silk every sleep many species in silk tents, while others use silk to reinforce the walls in their pores. They can also use silk to help them climb.
Tarantula has anatomy similar to other spiders and you can read more about the anatomy of spiders by visiting our spider parts.
Some tarantula species show sexual dimorfisme, males are usually smaller and have a dull coloration than females. Males in some species have hooks tibialis used to hold the female while mating. Tarantula teen sex can be determined by the fact that male tarantulas have cast exuvium to fusillae exiandrous or spermathecae while women do not. It is also possible to do this but the ventral sexing less reliable, especially because it is hard to do what is right.
Male tarantulas have a shorter life span than women, and many who died soon after due date, something that happened on 2-10 years depending on the species. Tarantula females can live up to 30-40 years when kept in good condition in captivity. The oldest tarantula live to 49 years. This age may be very rare in the wild because predasi. There are many animals that eat tarantulas, including parasitic wasp, tarantula hawks, which lay their eggs in and let a tarantula spider become a food source for the larvae.
In the pet trade, women are more sought after and therefore quite often more expensive. This is especially due to the fact that they live longer. Tarantula most wild caught adult male who may not be long left to live. This male-female ratio skew due to the fact that men roam around more while women living in and close their pores. Men are more likely to end up in the hands of a tarantula catcher.
Tarantula reproduce through internal fertilization. Male insert his pedipalpus to opithosoma female spiders, the opening in the lower abdomen. Get male semen into her pedipals to release semen into the web it was spinning on the ground and then put in a small pond pedipalpus semen. The pedipalpus absorb the semen and keep it up to the right of a woman to be found. Men should leave the scene quickly after mating or woman who can eat brother smaller. Actually eaten rare but if there is enough space for men to retreat. After mating, the female tarantula lay eggs 50-2000 (depending on size and type). Eggs stored in silk bags and guarded by the female until hatched offspring after 6-7 weeks. Small spiders still have some left their yolk sac and will live in that for the first day before leaving the safety of their mother's pores. Small spiders are often referred to as spiderlings.
