Tarantulas catch their prey using a variety of methods depending on the species and the size of the prey. Most tarantulas are ambush predators, meaning they wait for their prey to come close enough before striking with their fangs and injecting venom. Some tarantulas may also use their silk to build webs or create tripwires to detect and catch prey. Additionally, they may use their strong legs to pounce on their prey or simply chase them down.

Tarantulas catch their prey by ambushing them. They typically wait patiently in their burrow or hideout until their prey, like insects or small animals, come close enough. Then, they quickly pounce on their prey and use their fangs to inject venom, immobilizing their victim.
