There are no native species of tarantulas in Fl. but there are some foreign ones like the Mexican Red rump (if I'm not mistaken.) But, insects are not my area of expertise.
Spiders are arachnids, not insects.

Missouri has tarantulas. Brown ones.
I've seen a handful of them in my life, although none recently.
