what the hell does this mean!? and use punctuation for gods sakes! it's a rather wonderful invention that really helps your posts not sound like a meth addict's inner monologue! use the period (.) when ending a statement, use the question mark (?) when ending a question. you don't have my permission to use exclamation points cuz you will undoubtably use them too much.

my vote, for a group of NW, would be an itch

Calm down Phil..... No sense in getting flustered on the internet.....

Never heard of the clutter/cluster thing. If it is the legitimate word for spiders then why would it not apply to tarantulas?

Phil, I gave you the decency of a reasonable answer when you posted what I thought was a dumb question (pet digestion of a tarantula). Why don't you give me the same.

If you don't like a thread, why do you post?

And no, I didn't find it funny, or a joke.

I know for spiders, it is a clutter of spiders. (also accepable is cluster). So a tangle would work since it is in the same vein as clutter.
I'd read about a clutter, but thought since there was special attention being given to a sub-set of spiders, we could come up with a different collective noun for them. A clutter or cluster of tarantulas would work... but it's not particularly metaphorical of anything in my opinion (certainly not like an audit of accountants).

I actually really like tangle when I read/hear it. A dance of Tarantulas is cool too... not only does it say something about their name, but also about the movement of all those legs. Maybe a torrent of Pokies, given their rapid movement?

I didn't find it funny, because it really wasn't funny.

Nevermind. I consider that discussion closed. So we've kinda settled on a 'tangle', was it?

Nice! On the hole theme... what about a 'cavern' or a 'tunnel'.

An 'abyss' of Aphonopelma? An Alcove?

I think hole would be more apropos for Haplopelmas, that and you have the whole alliteration thing going.
