Will tarantulas ever be as popular as dogs or cats? I don’t think so, but this is not slowing the trade down, there are two species as popular as some of the most popular dogs and cats and that is the Mexican red knee tarantula and the Chilean rose tarantula The Mexican red knee tarantula was so popular that it was nearly extinct through people collecting them as pets so now they are regarded as endangered species.

So what does tarantula mean, Do you know?
The tarantula takes its name from the town of Taranto the principal town of Apulia, near where the spider is found. A large spider, it is unusual in that it does not trap its prey by spinning a web, but rather uses its speed to catch its victims, before using venom secreted from glands in the jaw, to kill its prey
In olden times, Apulia was known for the prevalence of a disease called tarantism . this Tarantism somehow causes an hysterical condition in the sufferer, with one characteristic feature being the sudden desire to dance, in a wild and rapid whirling motion. In fact, the dance was one of the body s natural defences against the illness, with the rapid activity helping to work the illness out of the body, through perspiration. The Italian dance, the tarantella, originates from this.
While the name tarantism is now believed to also have been derived from Taranto, it was previously commonly supposed, by Kircher for example, that the illness was a result of the bite of a tarantula spider, and that the name originated with spider which was large, hence the reason we call them tarantuls. Accordingly, it was believed that the cure for the bite of the tarantula was to perform the dance.
Helpfully, Kircher depicts the region populated by the spider, and gives two drawings, the underside and top. Finally, should one be unfortunate enough to get bitten, Kircher gives a recommended piece of music Antidotum Tarantulæ for the victim to dance to, to cure the bite
So this was thought where this world originated from though, there are plenty of misconceptions none the less is, the reason we use this world tarantula as it is today.
Let’s start with the basics, if you are considering tarantula tattoo designs, then chances are you have already thought of spider tattoo designs. After all they are from the same family, both spin webs, both have eight legs though tarantulas sometimes look like they have ten legs due to their pedipulps in the front of their bodies that they use for mating. Lets discuss the old world tarantula species found mainly on the African and Asian continents.
