The Texas brown tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi) is a native species found across Texas and the southern United States. It inhabits grasslands and deserts, where is constructs burrows. Primarily nocturnal, it preys on insects and other small invertebrates. Though large and often misunderstood, thier bite is not medically significant to humans. 🦇 Alec King, Hill Country Program Director | Texas Land Conservancy
