Stridulating tarantulas?

[natebugman]

What species of tarantulas can stridulate? I have a decent collection but never heard any of them do it.

Goddess 0.1 Pelinobius muticus PBUH (Peace Be Upon Her). The rest is something between heresy, her servants, or cheap copies.

Theraphosa, basically every baboon species when mad enough.

 

[chanda]

My T. stirmi stridulates when she's unhappy with me - like when I have to move her cage.

Believe it or not, most species have the ability to stridulate. Though none do so as much as Pelinobius, Monocentropus, Selenocosmia, Harpactira and Pterinochilus.

There are many NW with the organs but without reports using them

This species will do it at anything ..

Ceratogyrus, Augacephalus can be added to abovementioned.
But like @chrispetrie said, type it in YouTube, it is fascinating to watch and hear. Different species have different ways to stridulate

Id like to add Xenesthis to your list I have several. The 2 that are more skittish stridulate every time I open the lid. It's preferable to kicking hairs at me. That's never fun.

My Chilobrachys sp kaeng krachan did it when I rehoused used her...good times lol

Listen carefully when a Brachypelma boehmei kicks hairs at you
