I was just wondering. All life forms seem to have the ability to learn. For example, when I put a couple of crickets into my Chacos tank, they usually sit on top of the log that is her hide, because it seems they like that surface better than the substrate. When they start to get hungry, they begin to scour the tank. Normally, she sits just outside her hide, and waits for the crickets to come to her, but if I havent fed her in a couple of days and she starts to get hungry, she will climb to the top of the log, and look for crickets, because she has found them there before. I'm assuming that she has learned that the top of the log is where they hang out, so she goes in search of them. She will do this even if there are no crickets in the tank, so she isnt just sensing them in some way. It seems that she learned that the top of the log is a good hunting spot..
So, from a scientific point of view, can Tarantulas be taught anything?
