Poecilotheria metallica

My P. metallica spiderling eating a cricket!



This ornamental tree spider comes from the forests of India where it hunts flying insects by grabbing them out of the sky. A rare gem in the hobby, this species is critically endangered due to logging on the single forest it resides in, thankfully it readily breeds in captivity.

Came in the post the other day, a Salmon Pink Birdeater Spider! This species is the 3rd largest spider in the world, with a legspan that reaches 11 inches, so this guy has a lot of growing to do!

Here's an adult one:
