Tarantula

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“The Tarantula is a large spider, with a body about an inch in length; its bite was formerly supposed to produce Tarantism, and doubtless in some cases, produces disagreeable symptoms. It is a native of Italy, but varieties, or closely allied species, are found throughout the S. of Europe. The tarantulas of Texas and adjacent countries are large species of Mygale."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
