So where does this word tarantula come from?
The word tarantula can trace its origins back to the main town of Apulia called Taranto, there are several species of tarantula found here and this is why they have become known as tarantulas!
Tarantulas start digesting their prey before they even begin sucking the life and juices from their prey buy using their venom which starts the digesting process, but before they find their unsuspecting victim they first have to go on the hunt, not like the normal spider that spins a web and waits, rather they hunt by night while some hunt by day but they are usually shy creatures.
Back in the day there was a wide spread disease called “tarantism” which spread fast through the town of Apulia.

This Tarantism somehow caused a hysterical condition in the sufferer, with one characteristic feature being the sudden desire to dance, in a wild and rapid whirling motion.
Though strange it might sound or seem, one of the reasons for getting up and dancing seemed to do with the perspiration getting the illness out of the body. Today in Italy you can still find this dance being performed it is the infamous tarantella.
IT is thought that the name tarantula comes from this town Taranto, they called the disease tarantism because they thought these large spiders were the cause of them through their bites. Accordingly, it was believed that the cure for the bite of the tarantula was to perform the dance.
Back then people relied on someone like doctor kircher who helped patients who had gotten bit or thought they got bit from the spider he also provided sketches of these arachnids. So think you had been bitten? Well if you had unfortunately unlike today you would not have had the luxury to go see a doctor and get some anti venom, no! Back then you would have been told to do the wild crazy tarantula dance
Know you know why we use the word tarantula today, and that is that they thought it would cure them had they danced the tarantula dance to cure them.
