Tarantulas with Undeserved Bad Reputations (and Jorō Spider News!)

First off, we'll discuss a new study on the "Jorō spider" that explains why it is doing so well in urban environments (and why it shouldn't be feared).

Then, we'll discuss a comment I got about a tarantula park that perpetuates negative stereotypes about these animals.

Then, for our main topic, I'll discuss 6 species or genera of tarantulas that get undeserved bad reputations and break down where these notions came from.
