[edit] Pics

Some illustrations would be nice. I also moved this to Category:Spider anatomy. --Sarefo 02:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Species

The article only mentions urticating hairs on tarantulas, but they are apparently not unique to tarantulas (or even arachnids). I followed a link from Pupa to get to this article. Urticating hairs are also found on caterpillars such as the Oak Processionary. Perhaps someone who knows more about the subject could rewrite the article to reflect this. (Or correct the links on the other articles if they are directed here erroneously.) 134.58.43.46 15:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
