| All tarantula hawks are large, with metallic blue coloration, and have distinctive curly antennae. |
| The exhibit contains more than 13 species of birds, as well as acouchis, a Boa constrictor, a pair of slow-moving sloths, and a tarantula. |
| Next, they listened to a brief taped story about a spider while they viewed three photographs of a tarantula. |
| The tarantula hawk bends its long abdomen forward and underneath the tarantula to deliver a paralytic venom with its mighty stinger. |
| The tarantula hawks sting their prey and use the dead tarantula's body to lay an egg in. |
| We did see several tarantula hawks buzzing past our heads and running around on the ground. |
