I just wanna ask if what is the largest tarantula list? from A to Z genus and species, because I can't find anything when I'm doing a research for largest tarantulas. Please help me and others to find the largest A to Z genus and species of tarantula.

It truly depends on the specimen, how much and when you feed it, but large genuses from the top of my head would be Theraphosa, Lasiodora, and Poecioltheria.

Theraphosa, Pamphobeteus and Xenesthis also come to mind as some of the largest.

Sericopelma is also up there with the big ones.

I'm under the impression that when people say "a large spider" they mostly mean something around 6-7" (Well, among people who don't like spiders, ½ inch is big). Rarely we see something as impressive and large as this L.p. That is a big spider! It first show at 12:25, but by all means, watch the rest of the video too, or the whole series.

At what size is a spider big for you?

A-Z largest? Dude that's a serious ask. It would cost real money. If you want to do the research yourself though it should be free. Plus largest mass or diameter wise. What is your definition of large?
My Pinay gf just threw a sandal at me and told me to tell you to "look it up!"

What is being asked for here? A large list of tarantulas or a list of large tarantulas? Adjective placement is important. o_O

Yes,

This seems like a request definitive T list (which I initially though was the case).

find the largest A to Z genus and species of tarantula.
This threw me off, unless it’s ‘largest A-Z of T’s’.
