Ephebopus uatuman 2”

size 2”

Also known as the Emerald Skeleton Tarantula for its vivid gold and green coloration. These unique fossorial burrowers can flick urticarting hairs from their palps which is unusual as Ephebopus is the only genus known to do this. Reaching about 4 not 5 inches as adults, this incredibly beautiful spider comes from Brazil and Guyana and was named after the Uatuman river.
