Grammostola grossa is a terrestrial bird spider. It hides under roots, pieces of bark, stones or fallen leaves. In colder months and during moulting and brood care, it retreats into living burrows, which it lines with spider silk. [6] Habitat changes by humans due to livestock, agriculture and timber farming have allowed this species to spread.

The Chilean rose tarantula (Grammostola rosea), also known as the rose hair tarantula, the Chilean fire tarantula, or the Chilean red-haired tarantula (depending on the color morph), is probably the most common species of tarantula available in American and European pet stores today, due to the large number of wild-caught specimens exported cheaply from their native Chile into the pet trade.
In 1850, he transferred it to his subgenus Eurypelma [2] using the name (Mygale) Eurypelma anthracina, although Eurypelma was treated as a valid genus by later authors.

Compared to the others in the Grammostola genus, this species is an outlier. They are quite an active tarantula, and a bit defensive. It is usually out in the open, though they are quite skittish. They also present a stalking tactic for hunting, which differs from the more typical ambush strategy. [1] [2]
