Amaqiniso

A peptide in its venom, called GsMTx4, has been shown to block mechanosensitive ion channels in living cells, which makes it useful for research.1

Its urticating hairs also act as sensors, helping it detect small vibrations and changes in pressure.1

It is probably the most common tarantula sold in American and European pet stores, largely because many wild-caught spiders are exported cheaply from Chile.1

Females can dig burrows reaching 40 centimetres deep.1

It can go without food for weeks to months, and fasting can sometimes signal that it is about to moult.1

Males grow hooked tibial hooks on their front legs while maturing, which help them hold the female during mating.1
