Phormictopus Atrichomatus

[WolfieKate]

Ok, I’m thinking this is the last one for me for a while as she came hurtling out of the postal container. Her feeding response beats my A Gen though in fairness she’s bigger. This girl is stunning. Much prettier than I expected. I’m in the UK and I got her from Spa Spiders who are great.

Phormictopus Atrichomatus. Red Island Birdeater. Young female.

Here she is again. The most ermm confident spider in my collection.

Darn, don't have any Phormictopus yet! Dang, I want one! But I think I want them all. lol

BTW she is absolutely stunning!!!!

So pretty! I have 2 P. auratus and 1 atrichomatus, all smaller than your girl currently but I love their attitudes

Mine is my biggest Tarantula in terms of current size. I got a photo of her spread out and she’s got long legs when she feels like it! She is the only spider in my collection I feel vaguely intimidated by. But I don’t know why. she just can go fast when she wants to.

Absolutely stunning. Love that metallic sheen.
I'm getting my first Phormictopus soon - only a sling though, but sp. Dominican Purple. I was very tempted to stick a P. auratus or cancerides in my basket too... the entire genus is full of stunners.
