Conclusion
- Bird-spiders (Arachnida, Mygalomorphae) as perceived by the inhabitants of the village of Pedra Branca, Bahia State, Brazil

In general, Pedra Branca inhabitants' traditional zoological knowledge regarding bird-sipders has shown to be rationally coherent with the academic knowledge. The complex set of feelings, knowledge and behavior towards these arachnids and other arthropods as well may be translated as a valuable cultural resource, which in turn has to be taken into account both in the developmental processes addressed to the region – maybe the transformation of it in some kind of Conservation Unity, and in studies of local fauna inventory.
