The Museum
The Tarantula can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:

"Tarantulas are large arachnids that live in warm areas. They're sometimes kept as pets. They have sharp fangs and while it is painful if you're bitten by one, they aren't deadly to humans. What's scarier is the hair they kick off of their abdomens to protect themselves. The hair can cause serious itching and rashes wherever it sticks and can be rather difficult to remove."

Quote
Upon catching the insect, the player will say the following:

"I caught a tarantula! WHAAAA! Destroy it!"
