Unlike most Spiders, tarantulas do not catch their prey in webs. They find a spot, and just sit and wait. When something appears, they use a burst of speed to grab the victim with it's eight legs, and then inject immobilizing venom.
Most tarantulas are 'ambush' predators. Instead of roaming the area looking for prey, they'll sit extremely still and simply wait for prey to come within range. They 'launch' themselves at the intended victim, and quickly inject powerful venom.
