Reader Rail Information: The Pink Zebra Beauty tarantula is found throughout central and western South America. This docile species often plays dead when handled. This tarantula burrows and spends most of its life in hiding, only leaving its burrow to search for food. The abdominal hairs are called urticating hairs which can be “kicked off” by the tarantula to protect it from predation.
