Comparison Tarentula
hispanica and Theridion
Comparison
Tarentula hispanica and Sepia
[Rajan Sankaran]
Sepia
comes close to Tarentula, since the theme of Tarentula is unrequited love and the need to be attractive.
The dancing, attractive hysteria and sarcasm are common to both, and a young
Sepia can often seem like Tarentula. Tarentula can also be very industrious, but here again the
emphasis is more on the attractive behaviour while the contradiction of will
found in Sepia is not present. The deceitfulness, mischievousness and speed are
more prominent in Tarentula in comparison with Sepia.
[Kent]
