Grammostola is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described in text by Eugène Louis Simon in 1892.[5] These medium- to large-sized spiders are native to tropical South America, and are usually brown in color, with pinkish or orangish-red hairs. The very docile Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea) is popular as a beginner's spider among tarantula enthusiasts.[6]
