Theraphosa stirmi is one of the largest tarantulas. She can fend off enemies by rubbing the "stinging hairs" on her abdomen with her rear pair of legs. It is one of the twilight-active tarantulas and usually lives hidden during the day.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the fully glazed diorama was made in a German taxidermy studio.
