The Hispaniolan Giant Tarantula (Phormictopus cancerides) is a tarantula native to the Dominican Republic where it is called Cacata; Haiti where it is called Araignée-crab; and Cuba where it is rare. It occurs from the West Indies to Brazil. During the day they hide under rocks and debris and come out at night to look for prey.
