Insect 1


I was laying in my bed when I felt something crawling on me. As I slowly sat up I saw a tarantula. Its body was about 2 to 3 inches, but its legs were about 4 inches. the size of the tarantula's legs were similar to the size of a pencil. Tarantulas are hairy and mainly brown, but come in different colors. Also, the spider has claws on its feet. These spiders eat insects such as beetles, grasshoppers, small lizards, and mice. Many animals do not eat tarantulas, because they are dangerous. Although, wasp called tarantula hawks eat them. Their young are called spiderlings.
