The Grammostola rosea, commonly known as the Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula, is native to the deserts and scrublands of Chile. This terrestrial species is known for its docile nature and striking appearance, with a body covered in rose-colored hairs. It is a solitary and nocturnal predator, primarily feeding on insects.

Grammostola rosea, commonly known as the Chilean rose tarantula, is native to South America, specifically found in the countries of Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia. Its natural geographical distribution is primarily within the northern regions of these countries.

The Chilean rose tarantula inhabits arid and semi-arid environments, typically characterized by dry, scrubby landscapes. The climate in these areas is generally warm with low humidity levels, although temperatures can vary significantly between day and night. Seasonal variations may include periods of higher rainfall, yet overall the environment remains relatively dry.

Grammostola rosea is adapted to live in dry, open areas where it can find or create burrows in the ground. These burrows provide shelter from temperature extremes and predators. The species is predominantly terrestrial and primarily nocturnal, emerging at night to hunt for insects and other small invertebrates. This ecological niche allows the tarantula to exploit resources that are less available to diurnal species and to avoid many potential predators.
