The world most dangerous spider VenomousSpiders eating snake Venomous Deadly Spiders
The creepy-crawly world of spiders recently got a new member: Aphonopelma johnnycashi a tarantula species named for the late country singer Johnny Cash. The spider is abundant near Folsom State Prison in California where Cash recorded a famous live album in 1968. The tarantula's dark coloration also reminded researchers of Cash's preference for black attire.
If you end up getting bitten by adult male shown here you may end up with a bee-sting-like irritation. But consider yourself lucky; unlike Aphonopelma johnnycashi the following spiders are considered the most dangerous on Earth.
When scientists in southern Brazil turned over a rock while looking for tarantulas they came across something they never expected: a spider eating a snake.
The tarantula called Grammostola quirogai was chowing down on the body of an Almaden ground snake (Erythrolamprus almadensis). It's the first time a tarantula has ever been seen preying on a snake in the wild.
"Predation of such a large snake in relation to the size of the spider was extremely surprising to us " said Leandro Malta Borges a graduate student in biology at the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil.
Borges and his colleagues reported their shocking discovery Dec. 3 in the journal Herpetology Notes. The researchers were studying tarantulas in the Serra do Caverá a rocky grassy region in the far south of Brazil. Under a rock they discovered a 15-inch (39 centimeters) snake being eaten by an adult female G. quirogai. This species was formally described last year Borges said and previously had been known to exist only in Uruguay.
Like any critter spiders get hungry. Tarantulas usually satisfy this by chowing down on other bugs though large arachnids are also known to nibble on lizards and rodents.
Researchers in Brazil made a grisly but fascinating discovery when they found a large female in the process of eating a snake.
The title of the paper published in December in the journal Herpetology Notes really gets to the point: “Predation of the snake Erythrolamprus almadensis by the tarantula Grammostola quirogai.” Live Science brought this riveting discovery into the public eye.
