The common name for a tarantula refers to various large, hairy spiders belonging to the family Theraphosidae. There isn't a single scientific name for tarantulas because they encompass many species, such as the Mexican Redknee Tarantula (Brachypelma hamorii) and the Goliath Birdeater (Theraphosa blondi). Each species has its own distinct scientific classification within the Theraphosidae family.
'Pepsis formosa' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the tarantula hawk wasp. The common name refers to the female's successful preying on far larger tarantula spiders. Specifically, the mother-to-be delivers a paralyzing sting near the spider's head. She then pulls the hapless, helpless spider below ground. She lays an egg on top of the spider and then closes up the burrow. She repeats these actions about twenty [20] times.When the female tarantula hawk wasp is finished, she has about 20 eggs waiting to hatch into larvae. Each larva will have access to fresh food. In each of 20 burrows, they will feast upon their own immobilized, but still very much alive spider.
