Is there a tarantula that lives near the sea?

[wueuey]

just curiosity

There are Ts that live right on the banks of rivers. For the ocean, I am not sure, nothing would surprise me. I'm less inclined to think by the ocean unless there is a steady supply of prey. Ts will adapt to most any environment due to various natural pressures in the wild.

Are You referring to Actual 'Beachcombers' ?
Or Island / Coastal Dwellers?

H gigas is a potential opportunist aquatic species, but I don’t think they live near the ocean maybe in parts of Africa . I also don’t think any tarantula is going into the ocean. But I’m sure plenty of species live on islands or coastlines.

Socotra Island is only 1400 sq miles so possibly M. Balfouri?

Selenocosmia peerboomi has been seen living under coconut tree roots in forest floors extremely close to sea coasts in the Philippines. Some areas like that are only like 100m away from the actual sea coasts.

Another fun information - Joel Peerboom, whom the species was named after, owned a resort of some kind in the Philippines. He would often see this species around his property.

Caribena Versicolor I believe

Orphnaecus Genus from the Philippines and Papua New Guinea

Caribena Versicolor I believe

They do live on an island, but I am not sure how close to the water

 

[Kada]

Possibly Yamia watasei

This was asked in the past and i think there is still an empty space in terms of considering the beach their home

Beaches and Tarantulas

Is there any tarantulas that live close to the beach or in mangrove swamps? John

That being said, if a forest is bthe sea or ocean, why not. If the habitat is right, you could see them.

if we say a tarantula is a savannah grassland spider, and that grassland was next to the ocean, yes, it would be living next ocean.

but a tarantula that specificaly lives on sand next to tides, needs exploring.

there are crabs too.

i have not found any results that add tarantula and beach together. Maybe mangrove.

that being said, there are ocean dwelling spiders.
