Located 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the #Tarantula #Nebula (30 Doradus) is the largest and most luminous star-forming region in the Local Group, hosting thousands of massive young stars within spider-like filaments of glowing gas and dust.

During my holiday, I accidentally bred dubia roaches. They breed above 28 degrees celcius and because it was so warm, they bred. I embraced that and am now trying to breed them intentionally. It will be interesting to see how they multiply and it saves me on dubia costs.

Today I bought my first tarantula. She is a brachypelma hamorii, otherwise known as Mexican Red Knee Tarantula. Her name is Grace (after Grace Hopper) and she is four years old.

I was surprised to have my first tarantula encounter on the trail this morning. Usually they aren't out until September-October. It was crawling over a very rocky trail. #EastCoastKin #ECK #Hiking #Tarantula #Spider #WestCoastKin #RockinTuesday

Trying again: does anyone here have a female salmon-pink tarantula (lasiodora parahybana)? I'd love to hear about your experience with it.
How big is it and how much does it weigh? Have you ever held it in your hands, and if so, what is it like to hold? Would you say it's heavier or lighter than it looks? What is its personality like? Cautious or adventurous, active or mostly sitting still, for example.
Photos or video welcome.

Long shot, but does (or did) anyone on here have a female salmon-pink tarantula (lasiodora parahybana)? I'd love to hear about your experience with/of it.

#KnowledgeBit: Poecilotheria metallica, also known as the #Peacock #Tarantula, is an Old World species of tarantula. It is the only blue species of the genus Poecilotheria. Like others in its genus it exhibits an intricate fractal-like pattern on the abdomen.
It has been classified as Critically #Endangered by the IUCN.

This amazing creature has a fittingly amazing name: the psychedelic earth tiger, also known as the Indian rainbow #tarantula. It appears on Fauna & Flora’s 10 species to watch in 2026, a list of animals the conservation charity is hoping to protect. The list also includes extremely venomous vipers, a highly prized falcon and a guitarfish which looks like it has been sewn together from two different species in a “misguided scientific experiment.”

The #Tarantula Nebula is the largest and brightest star-forming region in the Local Group.
It hosts the most massive stars known, some 200 times the mass of our Sun, acting as a "cosmic nursery" for new stellar life.

#PhotoOfTheDay: Hubble Captures a #Tarantula
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures incredible details in the dusty clouds of a star-forming factory called the Tarantula Nebula.
Most of the nebulae Hubble images are in our galaxy, but this nebula is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy located about 160,000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa.

@plazi_species very interesting work about the #tarantula genus #Aenigmarachne (#Theraphosidae), formerly monotypic with a species known from Costa Rica, now with a #newspecies described from both genders and discovered in #Colombia, thus extending the former known range of the #genus.

I hadn't seen either my Caribena versicolor or my Psalmopoeus irminia in quite a while. It's really not that uncommon for a #tarantula to keep itself hidden way for what feels like impossibly long stretches of time but it seemed remarkably so this time.
I went to do a wellness check and discovered one VERY annoyed P. irminia and one VERY crunchy C. versicolor. It's a shame because the C. versicolor was always one of our favorites. We picked it up as a tiny little sling 6.5 years ago from the Show Me Reptiles Tarantula Takeover in St. Louis, MO - where I also met #TarantulaKat and #Petko of #theDarkDen.
I can't believe we're down to only 3 #tarantulas from our peak of 17. Tarantulas were an intense #SpecialInterest that lasted years. -
