Five fun and interesting facts about tarantulas:

  1. Furry and Cuddly: Despite their sometimes scary appearance, tarantulas are covered in soft, fuzzy hairs called setae. These hairs not only give them a unique texture but also help them sense their surroundings.
  2. Nighttime Hunters: Tarantulas are nocturnal creatures, which means they are most active during the night. They use their keen sense of touch and sight, as well as their specialized hairs, to navigate and locate prey in the dark.
  3. Spinnerets for Silk: Just like many other spiders, tarantulas have silk-producing spinnerets. They use their silk to create silk retreats, line their burrows, and even make egg sacs. However, they don't spin elaborate webs like some other spider species.
  4. Long Lifespan: Tarantulas are known for their relatively long lifespans compared to other spiders. Some species can live for several years, with some females living up to 20 years or more in captivity.
  5. Unique Defense Mechanism: When threatened, tarantulas have a fascinating defense mechanism. Some species can flick urticating hairs from their abdomen toward potential predators. These irritating hairs can cause discomfort and irritation, serving as a deterrent and allowing the tarantula to escape from danger.
