Description
The overall color of the tarantula is black with some green iridescence on the hard-shell upper body and pink coloring at the end of each leg. The tarantula's fangs fold under the body, meaning that it must strike downwards to impale its prey.
Tarantulas have four pairs of legs, or eight legs total. In addition, they have four other appendages near the mouth called chelicerae and pedipalps. The chelicerae contain fangs and venom, while the pedipalps are used as feelers and claws; both aid in feeding. The pedipalps are also used by the male as a part of reproduction.
