Tarantulas do live up on trees! This spider was found in ambush position on a tree trunk close to his den, visible on the right. Peruvian Amazonia.

To be precise, it is a migale arboreal, but there are genera that live in the soil (fossorie) or in desert environments. Tarantula is a generic term to indicate large spiders, but at a taxonomic level it has no correspondence with the Theraphosidae, in fact the local tarantulas belong to the Lycosidae family, therefore with very different morphological characters.

Claudio, thank you for the clarification, I don't know much about spiders. But can you confirm that the term used in America is tarantula?

I confirm this and not only in America, a term used for convenience, but it is a mistake, think that in the Collins dictionary the first description is the following: "any of various large hairy mostly tropical spiders of the American family Theraphosidae ". But as I wrote, tarantulas are Lycosidae, theraphosids (migals) are Theraphosidae, and the only characteristic that these families of arachnids have in common are their large size.

Thank you Claudio. So tarantulas from North American deserts are migali too, right?

Very interesting subject and beautiful shot :-o
Am I wrong or does the photo look like it was taken at night?

Thank you Mark. Yes, the photo was taken with flash during one of our night hikes in search of snakes and other animals.
