How do female tarantulas reproduce?

Answer 1

Female tarantulas reproduce through a process called mating, where the male approaches the female and performs a courtship dance to entice her. Once receptive, the male transfers sperm to the female using specialized appendages called pedipalps. After mating, the female can store the sperm for several months before fertilizing her eggs. She then lays the fertilized eggs in a silk egg sac, which she may guard until the spiderlings hatch.
