Framed Tarantula - Acanthoscurria ferina

Details

This impressive tarantula specimen - Acanthoscurria juruenicola - is a common terrestrial species from the Peruvian Amazon. A large, hairy spider that spends the day in burrows and emerges at night to hunt.

Harmless to humans, some of the larger tarantulas have been known to kill large mice, birds, lizards and small snakes. They can only ingest food in a liquid form and usually coat prey with digestive juices to achieve that result.

It is a REAL spider, completely natural, and has not been enhanced or altered in any way.

Comes professionally mounted in a black frame. Great for curious kids, collectors, or classroom units on bugs and insects.

Age: 5+

Many of the framed insects we carry are ranched/farmed specifically for the purpose, and do not include any species that are regarded as rare or endangered on CITES.

The frames are not made from real wood. Ethical concerns over deforestation in many third world countries has led to the use of timber substitute framing. All frames have glass fronts with a hook ready to hang. The use of recycled cardboard in the carry boxes also makes this product the complete eco-friendly gift.
