According to a latest study, Tarantulas are getting so much affected by the warm weather that they are growing clumsy. This study was carried for three long months, at the end of which the scientists and the whole team was sure that heat makes the spiders go hay wire and mad. Their speed remained unchanged, and even faster at times; but it was only because they were losing control, it was not anything which can be counted on a better side.
The latest study has been done under the assumption that spider limbs are more or less similar as those of a robot. And since robots start to act clumsy when temperature rises due to fluid viscosity, the same can happen to the spiders as well.
When they feel too hot and humid, Tarantulas lose all kinds of coordination and they also start to act really clumsy, according to a new study, reports Tech Times. Even though they lose coordination, their speed remains pretty fast.
Spiders do not have muscles in their body to move limbs and do activities; they have a liquid called hemolymph, which is very similar to blood, and it flows into their legs, which in turn enables them to extend and bend and carry out daily activities. This blood like liquid gets super affected by changes in temperature, which in turn alters the spider's ability to walk and do other stuff.
The presence of this liquid has also led the scientists to believe that robotic movements are similar to movements in tarantulas. Robots use hydraulic extensions while the spiders use this liquid, says the report.
These creatures are found commonly in far southern parts of the United States.
