Theraphosinae sp. “apasanca”

size 1/4”

Another stunning undescribed species from Peru. These terrestrial spiders can reach 6” plus as adults and are a real show stopper.  A big black spider with a cream colored ring around the carapace, cream stripes down the legs, and a firey red patch of hairs on the abdomen. The word “apasanca” means “big spider” in Quechua, which is an indigenous language that originated in Peru and is spoken in the Andean region of South America. Very limited availability.
