Product Details

Our luxuriously soft beach towels are made from brushed microfiber with a 100% cotton back for extra absorption.   The top of the towel has the image printed on it, and the back is white cotton.   Our beach towels are available in two different sizes: beach towel (32" x 64") and beach sheet (37" x 74").

Artist's Description

The Tarantula Hawk isn't a hawk; it's a wasp - one of the largest - and it hunts tarantulas. The females paralyze, but do not kill, tarantulas, then put them in a nest, lay an egg on them, and the larva chews its way into the still-living tarantula's body, eating everything except the vital organs so that it doesn't kill the tarantula. It is renowned as having the second-most painful sting in nature, but the pain is brief and doesn't require treatment. It has few natural enemies besides roadrunners.
