Depending on their size, tarantulas eat insects or even larger prey, such as frogs, mice, and birds. They eat all kinds of insects, especially larger ones like crickets and grasshoppers, June beetles, cicadas, millipedes, caterpillars and other spiders. Larger tarantulas will also eat frogs, toads, small rodents, lizards, bats and small snakes.
