Right now we only got tarantulas but soon...



Acanthopelminae Subfamily

Small, terrestrial New World tarantulas



Aviculariinae Subfamily

A subfamily of tropical, tree-dwelling New World tarantulas. They range from the Caribbean to South America, and are commonly known as “pinktoe” tarantulas. The genera Avicularia, Ephebopus and Pachistopelma possess urticating hairs, but cannot “flick” them into the air; instead the hairs are pressed into an enemy upon contact.

  • Avicularia - There is a belief that they may be the reason behind rumors of "flying spiders" in the rainforests they are native to, as they are quite adept at jumping.
  • Ephebopus -
  • Iridopelma -
  • Pachistopelma -
