Goliath birdeater

The Goliath birdeater is a spider belonging to the tarantula family, Theraphosidae. It is considered to be the second largest spider in the world, and it may be the largest by mass. It is also called the Goliath bird-eating spider; the practice of calling Theraphosids "bird-eating" derives from an early 18th-century copper engraving by Maria Sybilla Merian that shows one eating a hummingbird, but the term is inaccurate as they do not primarily prey on birds.
