i just had a wierd thought, how do tarantulas know where to find water? how do they know to get back to the water in their homes if they can only tell light from dark and such?
Their sensory abilities go way beyond just light and dark. As for finding water - they've got chemosensory structures in their legs that probably recognize moisture. There are also places on their legs where the exoskeleton has tiny openings with lots of nerve endings, probably also as sensory devices.i just had a wierd thought, how do tarantulas know where to find water? how do they know to get back to the water in their homes if they can only tell light from dark and such?
