close, but not quite.

bird-eater- is a special term;

If I remembered the term bird eater was given by the founder who first sighted the tarantula eating a bird,

so the name suggest,

and all theraphosa are well known for the common name,

-blondi
-apophysis

bla2.

bird eating- eat bird lol.
but even if my SP blue eat bird, literally it is still not a bird eater because it does not fall under the same clause.

theraphosidae main food I believed is insects. Only once in a blue moon they prey on large animals.

My none-cents.

Go do a proper reading and share here if anyone is rajin enuff

aros, u can be the next kar lor.. lotsa reading.. but ur essay not as long as Kar's.. haiya, where is he anyway?

haha kar rajin write long2,

I write based on what I remembered when I do basic reading last time which the is questionable at some point,

btw izzulogy,

today UiTM main campus got convo rite?

"The goliath bird-eating spider (also called the birdeater) (Theraphosa blondi) is an arachnid belonging to the tarantula family and is generally considered to be the largest spider in the world. The spider was named by explorers from the Victorian era, who witnessed one eating a hummingbird and reported the sighting to the Western world.[1]"
this is wat u trying to tell?

nhandu chormatus is also called as white striped bird eater, so i believe, bird eater is a name for those genus like lasiodora, theraphosa .....from the genus provided above, we can see , all the tarantula from these 2 genus are all big size one....

and forgot to mention that tarantula = theraphosidae.

tarantula main diet would be insects and other arthropods,but they can kill animals as large as lizards ,mice and birds (from wikipedia)

anyone has a costa rican zebra tarantula here?

yup, now convo season~ y?

nice copy paste

reading this reminds me of the good old day,

thai zebra?

Maybe....

this was traded in to a local pet store as a striped knee. For just $15 I could not pass it up. This was how it looked the day I got it. About 2.5 inches.



This is how it looked after a recent molt.




Time will tell if it is an A. seemani!
