Spiders in caves

Not all spiders live in corners or webs in the woods, such as tarantulas, which prefer to live on open, dry, sunny ground without crops. Usually, adult tarantulas live underground— narrow, dirty burrows they dig themselves.

Tarantula

Tarantulas are also spiders, and although they live in caves, tarantulas still spit silk in webs. Some people may have questions about this, spider webs living in corners and woods are easy to understand, but do tarantulas living in narrow caves need to tie webs? Is it meant to be cocooned? The clever tarantula, of course, does not cocoon itself, and the silk it spits covers the entire cave wall, which on the one hand keeps the interior clean, so as not to pile up the slag in the nest of the soil, just like people brush the rough house with white ash. On the other hand, these silks that cover the entire cave wall can be used as ladders for tarantulas to enter and exit, after all, spiders are born to "walk tightrope".

Tarantula Cave

Tarantulas do not rely on spider webs to catch prey, and in the face of prey, they will suddenly jump up at the right time, aim at the back of the neck of the prey, and take a bite extremely quickly, and the prey will be killed on the spot. Tarantula's venom is extremely lethal to some insects, and their venom can even kill a sparrow and mole, and it is also quite dangerous for people to be bitten.

Tarantula predation

Tarantulas are typical species that are instigated outside the nest, and in their own homes, tarantulas kill robust wood bees and locusts in minutes, but tarantulas that leave the nest will not take the initiative unless they are extremely hungry due to their lack of security. If a person wants to catch a tarantula and needs to use bait to fish the tarantula out of the burrow, once the tarantula leaves its nest it will panic, and it is much easier to catch the tarantula at this time.
