Tarantula is the common name for a group of hairy, sometimes very large spiders belonging to the family Theraphosidae, of which 800 species have been identified. Tarantulas hunt prey on the ground and do not spin webs. They mainly eat insects and other arthropods, caught by speed or ambush. The biggest tarantulas can kill animals as large as lizards, mice, or birds. Most tarantulas are harmless to humans, and some species are kept as pets or eaten as food. These stocky, fearsome-looking spiders are found in tropical and desert regions around the world.
