Real-Life White-Knee Tarantula:
The White-Knee Tarantula (Acanthoscurria geniculata) is a species native to Brazil. Its distinguishing feature is the striking white bands on its legs, which give it its common name. These tarantulas are large and can grow up to 8 inches (20 cm) in leg span. They are ground-dwelling and prefer humid, tropical environments. Although they possess venom like most tarantulas, their venom is relatively mild and not dangerous to humans. White-Knee Tarantulas are known for their defensive nature and can kick urticating hairs from their abdomen as a means of protection.
