The following passage is taken from a classic study of tarantulas published in scientific America in 1952.
A fertilized female tarantula lays from 200 to 400 eggs at a time, thus it is possible for a single tarantula to produce several thousand young. She takes no care of them beyond (5) weaving a cocoon of silk to enclose the eggs. After they hatch, the young walk away, find convenient places in which to dig their bur-rows and spend the rest of their lives in sole-tude. Tarantulas feed mostly on insects and (10) millipeds. Once their appetite is appeased, they digest the food for several days before eating again. Their sight is poor, being limited to sensing a change in the intensity of light and to the perception of moving objects. They (15) apparently have little or no sense of hearing, for a hungry tarantula will pay no attention to a loudly chirping cricket placed in its cage unless the insect happens to touch one of its legs. (20) but all spiders, and especially hairy ones, have an extremely delicate sense of touch. Laboratory experiments prove that tarantulas can distinguish three types of touch: pressure against the body wall, stroking of the body (25) hari and riffling of certain very fine hairs on the legs called trichobothria. Pressure against the body, by a finger or the end of a pencil, causes the tarantula to move off slowly for a short distance. The touch (30) response unless the approach is from above, where the spider can see the motion, in which cases it rises on its hind legs, lifts its front legs, opens its fangs and holds this threatening pos-ture as long as the object continues to move. (35) when the motion stops, the spider drops back to the ground, remains
quiet for a few sec- onds, and then moves slowly away. The entire body of a tarantula, especially its legs, is thickly clothed with hair. Some of it (40) is short and woolly, some long and stiff. Touching this body hair produces one of two distinct reactions. When the spider is hungry, it responds with an immediate and swift attack. At the touch of a cricket’s antennae the (45) tarantula seizes the insect so swiftly that a motion picture taken at the rate of 64 frames per second shows only the result and not the process of capture. But when the spider in not hungry, the stimulation of its hairs merely
(50) causes it to shake the touched lim. An insect can walk under its hairy belly unharmed the trichobothria, very fine hairs growing from disk like membranes on the legs, were once thought to be the spider’s hearing organs, (55) but we now know that they have nothing to do with soon they are sensitive only to air movement. A light breeze makes them vibrate slowly without disturbing the common hair. When one blows gently on the trichobothria, (60) the tarantula reacts with a quick jerk of its four front legs. If the front and hind legs are stimu-lated at the same time, the spider makes a sud-den jump. This reaction is quite independent of the state of its appetite. (65) these three tactile responses – to pressure on the body wall, to moving of the common hair, and to flexing of the trichobothria-are so different from one another that there is no possibility of confusing them. They serve the (70) tarantula adequately for most of its needs and enable it to avoid most annoyances and dangers. But they fail the spider completely when it meets its
deadly enemy, the digger wasp Pepsis. - According to the author, which of the following attributes is (are) characteristic of female tarantulas?
