Spinosatibiapalpus. sp “yellow blue” (Colombia) 1/2”

size 1/2”

This spider has been sold under numerous names, from sp. “blue & yellow, sp. purple & gold, sp. Colombia etc. However this spider should not be confused with the similar grey and blue spider from Colombia that is often labeled as sp. Colombia. It’s my guess that this spider will one day be assigned to the genus Spinosatibiapalpus. Time will tell. This simple to keep slow growing spider is a great beginner spider . Its colors will get your attention, especially after a fresh molt. Still undescribed, the adults of this terrestrial spider are reported to get to 5 inches or so with time.  

*As predicted, the Theraphosid Research team determined this spider to fit in the genus Spinosatibiapalpus in December of 2024 and will no longer be labeled as a Pseudhapalopus species.
