Arachnophagy

Arachnophagy (/əˈræknɒfədʒi/, from Greek ἀράχνη aráchnē, 'spider', and φαγεῖν phagein, 'to eat') describes a feeding behaviour that includes arachnids.

Aside from non-human creatures, the term can also refer to the practice of eating arachnids among humans.

For example, arachnophagy is described among Philippine scops owls that feed on spider species such as Heteropoda venatoria.

[5] In Venezuela, the Piaroa people have a history of eating the Goliath birdeater tarantula (Theraphosa blondi).
