| Here we can see an enormous tarantula whose body is covered by hair. Waiting patiently on a
stone, It is ready to devour its prey. The "Tarantula" spider whose scientific name is Lycosa tarantula is a wolf spider from the area around a city in Italy now called Taranto but called Tarentum in Roman times. This spider has an entirely undeserved reputation due to historical and cultural reasons, the development of a belief that the bite of this spider produces severe symptoms called tarantism. |
