I dont like Tarantulas...but i think that that one has just changed my mind

 

[dakota]

ya well here go's somethin really shity my mom told me to take it back to my art teacher

Dakota, there are very few tarantulas that are anywhere close to deadly and that one there is far from deadly! It is a member of the genus Aphonopelma and is native to the US. I would guess Aphonopelma hentzi, but that would be just that, a guess. A lot of the Aphonopelma look extremely similar.

I'm partial to A. versicolor and A. geniculata... At least they are visible..

Cant forget the others... even though the pics are quite old by now...
