Mostly tarantulas are harmless to humans, but they can inflict a painful bite if provoked. The Sydney Funnel-Web Spider, which is poisonous, is not a tarantula. In addition to their fangs, tarantulas in the New World have what are called "urticating hairs", which they throw from their abdomens to fend off curious predators.
