SpidersEuropean Tarantula
Hello Bugman
I thought you might like to see a European Tarantula (Chaetopelma Gracile) that I found in my kitchen in North Cyprus in November 2006. The picture was taken outside while we were trying to coax it into a dustpan to relocate it to a more suitable home. I’m afraid the picture isn’t that clear as it was 6.30am and we were a bit shocked. The spider measured approx 90mm. I have only just discovered your fantastic website and it has really helped me in identifying the different creatures we find here in Cyprus. Thank you and regards.

Hi Jo,
Thanks for sending us this great photo of a European Tarantula. We have linked to an article on Chaetopelma gracile.
