tarantula

The tarantula, like many other members of the spider family, is an expert in the making of burrows.

The Tarantula is in her own house, with all its conveniences; every nook and corner of the bastion is familiar to her.

The natives of the island hold the old tradition of the ancients, that one bitten by a tarantula will dance himself to death.

Have you ever seen, by-the-bye, that extraordinary Highland tarantula called the reel of Tullich?

The tarantula spider is a relation of the six-footed farmers, you should know, although he is not an insect himself.
