Abstract In the laboratory, Tarantula marginemaculata breeds during the summer months. Egg development takes 98 days. Development from hatching to maturity takes 8 to 10 months and involves 5 to 8 moults. Mature animals continue to moult and to grow and normally produce 1 to 2 broods per year. Moulting frequency, growth, development of sexual organs and of trichobothriotaxy, and regeneration are described and compared to those of other arachnids.
