These spiders include, Hairy, a Ty Beanie Baby who happens to be a tarantula (far left), and a large tarantula made by Wild Republic. The spider to the right is another tarantula made by Aurora World. Check to see
if we have any spiders in our Gift Shop.
Spiders are not insects at all, but rather arachnids. They have 8 rather than 6 legs. Because of Hairy's hairy body, he might be a tarantula.
These large spiders have legs close to 6 inches long. The bite of the North American tarantula is no more dangerous than that of a bee. These spiders are nocturnal and the female may live up to 35 years in captivity.
Spinner (at left) might be a golden garden spider. This orb-weaving species is found throughout the United States. Many orb weavers replace their web every day, usually in the early evening. It takes them about one hour to do the job.
