Origin: Peru This beautiful terrestrial spider lives in Peru and Bolivia, predominantly in tropical forests. The spiders from some areas in Bolivia are often larger than those from Peru. The size of a Bolivian adult female can reach up to 11cm (2.5 inches), under the right conditions. The male’s growth matures after some 2.5 years, females after 4 years. If disturbed, this species holds its abdomen against the aggressor and kicks its hairs, which, in contact with skin, cause disagreeable itching. Obviously, it's not a highly defensive species, although some sources mention its alleged aggressiveness. Throughout the day, they spend most of the time hidden in its retreat and are more active during the night. Spiderlings and juveniles are pale and they have a ‚'Christmas tree' design on the abdomen, which is actually true for most of the young ones belonging to this genus
