5 Interesting Facts About Hairy Spiders!

The hairs on tarantulas and other hairy spiders aren't just for texture - they're covered in thousands of tiny sensory hairs called trichobothria that can detect the faintest air currents and vibrations.
Many tarantulas can flick urticating hairs from their abdomen as a defence mechanism - these tiny barbed hairs cause intense irritation to the skin, eyes and nose of any predator getting too close.
Despite their fearsome appearance, most large hairy spiders are quite docile - tarantulas rarely bite unless severely provoked, and the bite of most species is no more dangerous than a bee sting.
Hairy spiders moult their entire exoskeleton periodically as they grow - they shed their old skin, including the lining of their digestive system, and emerge with a brand new, larger body underneath.
Some tarantula species can live for over 30 years - females in particular are remarkably long-lived, while males typically only survive a few years after reaching maturity.
