Tarantula: A Large Hairy Spider

Tarantulas are very large hairy spiders. These are found in Southern Europe, the named city of Taranto in Italy. These are fierce spiders.

Tarantula is a large, fierce, hairy spider. In the middle ages it was thought that people bitten by a tarantula became ill. The patients fall into a dull, unhappy state. The only way to stir people out of this state was with music and they were supposed to dance until they were completely worn out. After that they would become well.

From this belief a dance called the “Tarantella” was developed. It is a very lively Italian dance that gets faster and faster until the end. While the bite of the tarantula is fatal to insects, there is no evidence that it is so to humans. But still, the fear of tarantula bite persists.

Tarantulas are found only in Southern Europe and are named the city of taranto in Italy. Like some other spiders, they don’t spin webs. Instead they dig deep burrows, which they line with silk. Tarantulas hibernate during winter.

Tarantulas wait for their prey somewhat like tigers. They lie with in their burrows. When An insect comes along; they rush out, bite it, and then drag it into their burrows. The bite either kills the insect or paralyses it so that it becomes helpless. They suck out the blood and body juices. When it comes to their own young, tarantulas are very kind. They keep their cocoons in their houses, and carry them when they go out.
