(Psalmopoeus irminia)
The Venezuelan sun tiger is an arboreal species, meaning it is tree- dwelling. The females are usually a deep black with bright orange chevrons on the legs and a tiger-striped pattern on the abdomen. The males are smaller than the females and are a grey/brown colour.
The Venezuelan sun tiger can be found in rainforest areas in Venezuela, Northern Guyana, and Northern Brazil.
These tarantulas are insectivores meaning they feed on a variety of suitably sized invertebrates.
Females of this species can live for 12 years while males will live for about 4 years.
Not evaluated.
Venezuelan sun tigers do not have urticating (irritating) hairs on their
abdomen like most other tarantula species. Instead, they have a
stronger venom.
This species of tarantula can be quite fast and aggressive, so they are
not good for handling.
