Tarantulas lose coordination when exposed to hot conditions

According to researchers, tarantulas lose coordination when exposed to warm conditions. But speed of tarantulas stays rapid and furious.

It has been revealed that some species of these spiders are known for speed but they always not move easily, mainly in warm conditions. Spiders do not make use of muscles as their main driving force to move limbs. In its place a liquid called hemolymph, like blood, flows into the legs and cause them to extend.

The researchers said that the joint closer to the body normally extends before the other. After that flexor muscles drive bending at the joints and hemolymph pushed back into the arachnid's body. Changes in temperature can affect this liquid, potentially changing capability of the spider to walk.
