Tarantulas come from all over the world. The rose hair tarantula is from various parts of South America. Tarantulas make webs, but unlike other spiders they do not live suspended on their web. They also do not catch their food in their webs.
Tarantulas go out of their houses and walk around in search for food.
Their hair is sensitive to touch and is used for sensing prey. They do have venom to paralyze their prey, but it is not dangerous to people. A female tarantula will make a flat sheet of web to lay her eggs on. Then she will lay another sheet of web over the eggs sealing the edges forming a little pillow. The female carries the egg-sac with her, attached to her spinnerets, leaving their jaws free to catch prey.
