Tarantula
Any of various large, hairy, chiefly tropical spiders of the family Theraphosidae, capable of inflicting a painful but not seriously poisonous bite.
A large wolf spider (Lycosa tarentula) of southern Europe, once thought to cause tarantism.
[Medieval Latin, from Old Italian tarantola, after TARANTO.]
The Tarantula spins no web but catches its prey by pursuit.
