Tarantulas have amazing leg and limb regeneration abilities. What looks like magic to is just like the process of metamorphosis in butterflies.
On our tarantula expeditions, we often find wild tarantulas with missing legs. A very common sight and it doesn’t bother the spider too much.

Spider leg muscles have the ability to close the open wound immediately. Additionally, spiders are able to break away their own leg with a mechanism called Autotomy. It restricts bleeding altogether and the spider can go on its way, unharmed.

The beauty of nature never ceases to amaze me. Follow our tarantula work and expedition on our website birdspiders.ch
