Are you aware that tarantulas are large, long-lived arachnids. When threatened, a tarantula exposes its fangs and puts its weight on its hind legs. If that does not deter a predator, the spider may use their legs to shoot urticating hairs toward their attacker. These are small barbed hairs that cause minor irritation in humans, but can kill small mammals. Yes

Did you know that male tarantulas die a few months after mating? They can live for about five to seven years. As long as they don't mate. But females live much longer, sometimes for 25 to 30 years as pets (in captivity). Yes
