tarantula? Where does the name come from? An artist painted a spider in South America at the beginning of the 18th century, which sat on a dead bird, a tarantula. The spider's feet can be up to 30 cm long.
All tarantulas are poisonous. However, they are harmless to humans. A bite is painful and unpleasant, but it is not fatal. However, those who are allergic to insect poisons should not get too close to these spiders. Because then a bite can be life-threatening.
