A tarantula is a wolf SPIDER Lycosa tarantula
with a 2½cm (1 inch body). It spins no web,
relying on its speed in hunting to catch its
prey. The name `tarantula' is also used for
any of the numerous large, hairy spiders of
the family Theraphosidae, with large poison
fangs, native to the South West USA and
tropical America.
