The word "tarantula" has been employed in literature both as a literal descriptor of the formidable arachnid and as a symbolic element of danger and mystery. In some texts, authors refer directly to a spider resembling a tarantula to set a vivid scene, as seen in Chekhov's works [1, 2]. Meanwhile, Edgar Allan Poe uses the term to suggest an ominous effect, implying that a bite from the tarantula brings about a foreboding transformation [3, 4]. Additionally, Thomas Carlyle’s playful mention of a "swearing tarantula" serves to both inject humor and emphasize the unpredictable nature of his subjects [5]. This range of usage illustrates the word’s versatility, anchored by its inherent association with both natural menace and metaphorical potency.
