Anyone with mild or moderate depression can potentially benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, even without taking medication. A number of studies have shown CBT to be at least as effective as antidepressants in treating mild and moderate depression.
Theraphosids (tarantulas and baboon spiders) are the longest lived spiders having a lifespan of more than 20 years in captivity. Unsurprisingly, all these longest lived spiders are females as males have shorter lifespansâafter reaching maturity (within a year or two) they mate and die.
Tarantulas live on every continent except Antarctica. In the U.S., theyâre found within several different states, mainly in the Southwest. They thrive throughout the world, with the highest concentrations in Mexico, South America, Africa, and Asia, as the map below suggests.
