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

HMCS Tuna was a #steamYacht that was converted into a #RoyalCanadianNavy #torpedoBoat. She was the first #turbine-powered steam yacht ever built. She was built in #London, England in 1902 as #Tarantula for Colonel #HarryMcCalmont. He died soon after she was completed, and in 1903 #WilliamKissamVanderbiltII acquired her. In 1914 #JKLJackRoss bought her and transferred her to the #MinisterOfNavalServiceForCanada, who had her converted into a torpedo boat.

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.

New #tarantula species so feisty, males evolved the longest #genitalia to survive #mating

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1093326

A logical bug in the headline - in those species where the male doesn't survive mating, it's not because of falling short, it's because #evolution has no better use for them than serving as a meal for the female. In which case they can't evolve any protective measure. #science #arachnids #ecology #newSpecies

My #Theraphosa blondi finally let me have this #molt and it was both large and intact enough that I am pretty sure I can officially determine that she is female! 🎉

That flappy bit between her front book lungs that is resting on a part of the forceps is, I believe, her spermatheca.

Here is a reference photo for comparison (tho I can't comment on the reliability): https://www.mymonsters.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/THEBLO_FS.jpg

Better shots of the Theraphosa apophysis juvenile this morning. I really hope it's female... Much prettier than the blondii I think, albeit rather more leggy.

My Acanthoscurria geniculata just seems to get fatter and fatter and always hungry. Gorgeous detail on her legs.

Almost a hundred million years of Theraphosidae, so I, homo sapiens sapiens, pale in comparison to you.

Mystery wasp/hornet of the day. Almost 2 inches long. #insects (Update: This is a #TarantulaHawk... which means I apparently ALSO have a #tarantula living in my backyard somewhere -- that might explain the mystery tarantula-sized hole that was in my back the other day)

Paralyzed juvenile tarantula.

I took it home.

It may be paralyzed for months.

I gave it water today. After it drank it lifted a fang up. I'm hoping that's a good sign.

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.

#DanielStern's banshee wail as the #tarantula crawls over his face never ceases to amaze me.

One nice thing about working until the middle of the night is that I catch more of our #tarantulas out and being active when I get home. Here are some pics of the ones who welcomed me back tonight.

#Theraphosa blondi (Goliath Birdeater Tarantula)
#Pterinochilus murinus “Usumbara” (Orange Baboon Tarantula)
#Tliltocatl albopilosum (Honduran Curlyhair Tarantula)
#Caribena versicolor (Antilles Pinktoe Tarantula)

I ordered a Neoholothele incei 'Gold' from Swift's Invertebrates. He includes a freebie in every order but the current freebies listed on his site for orders under $100 are some smaller centipedes. I told him there is no need to send a freebie because centipedes give me the willies (tho I'd consider keeping Scolopendra gigantea). To my happy surprise, he included a Brachypelma albopilosum with my order instead!

#Tarantula #Tarantulas #TarantulaAddict #ILikeTarantulasMoreThanPeople

During feeding time for the #tarantulas this evening, the Pterinochilus murinus bolted which resulted in me briefly handling it - something I'm not a fan of generally but especially not with that species. Their common name is Orange Baboon #Tarantula (OBT) but they are better known as Orange Bitey Thing.
