Tarantula hair. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a hair from the abdomen of a tarantula (family Theraphosidae) spider. These hairs,known as urticating hairs,are flicked at other animals as a defense mechanism. The barbs mean they stick to their target,where they cause intense itching.
