Chines Bird Spider Tarantula in Resin | Ornithoctonus Huwena

ABOUT THIS PIECE:

This is one huge tarantula! It is also known as the Chinese Bird Spider (Ornithoctonus huwena). It was given this name because it is big enough to catch and kill a small bird, and has been seen doing so. It is one of the most venomous spiders in China and can kill a mouse or small bird in less than 2 minutes. This species is distributed in the hilly area of Yunnan and Guangxi in the south of China.

Little is known about the toxins from its venom, which is a neurotoxin. In front of this tarantula's legs are two leg-like appendages called pedipalps which are used as feelers. The silk it spins for its web is uniquely fine where the diameter is in nanometer scale.

As with all spiders in resin; size, shape, and positioning can vary slightly. Resin block measures approximately 5 1/4 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches wide.
