Desert Tarantulas


Desert Tarantulas
          The Desert Tarantula is the largest spider in the world.  They are not really dangerous like you see in movies.  They live underground and live in burrows.  Tarantulas sit at the entrance waiting for insects to wander by.  We see them during mating season, which is when adult males look for females.  Male tarantulas live ten years long and die after mating.  Females live 25 years or more.  They lay eggs several time in their lives.
