Do tarantulas live in Galveston Texas?
You will probably never see them. If you're going to be living in Texas, tarantulas will be the least of your problems. In any case, US species of tarantulas are completely harmless, especially when compared with the black widow and the brown recluse.
Birds, snakes, and rodents mostly avoid tarantulas because they have hairs carrying irritating toxins. The "spider wasp" (Pompilidae ) stings the tarantula and lays its egg or eggs in the spider's abdomen -- once the eggs hatch, the tarantula carcass is used as a food source by the wasp larvae.
Native populations of humans eat tarantulas by roasting off the hairs.

How many eyes do tarantulas have?
Eight. Most spiders have four pairs of eyes on the top-front area of the cephalothorax, arranged in patterns that vary from one family to another. The pair at the front are of the type called pigment-cup ocelli ("little eyes"), which in most arthropods are only capable of detecting the direction from which light is coming, using the shadow cast by the walls of the cup. However the main eyes at the front of spiders' heads are pigment-cup ocelli that are capable of forming images.
