So I hit a Spider Island, and I was trying to figure out how to catch them safely. was gonna make a wall to catch them from the inside of, and i accidentally found out that Tarantula's have a Hierarchy. if one of them is already attacking, none of the others will attack you. at all.

I just retweeted this and followed you, thanks for sharing that!
 
just a single bump to help spread the word on this :p
 
I've never gotten an island like that before (with the moat river). :(

Does this work on other islands too?
 
this is Spider Island, where the spawn rate seems to be fixed in such a way that ONLY tarantulas can spawn, and up to 4 at a time.

i would assume this is possible to do on other islands, but rate of Tarantula spawning even on self-made Tarantula Islands is so low that it might not work as well. still, in the event you somehow run into two tarantulas, if you can somehow get one running at you, and another one nearby, i cannot see why it wouldnt work the same.
 
this is so helpful! I was about to set out looking for one of these islands, so thank you for this

youre quite welcome :3 this is a helpful trick for anyone who wanders into Tarantula Island.
 
Oh wow. I knew of the hole trick, but never thought of them frozen in time like that. I'll take note on that.
