I know that tarantulas don't eat plants...

But at least one spider does! It is a jumping spider (Family Salticidae) named Bagheera kiplingi. I am an avid tarantula enthusiast, with one Grammostola rosea and one Brachypelma vagans, but I am currently studying Bagheera kiplingi and another possible vegetarian, Frigga crocuta, both of which live in Central America. You can learn more about my project here:

A female Bagheera kiplingi doing what she does best--eating plants and looking cute!
