Costa Rican Tiger Rump

Cyclosternum fasciatum

Description:

Huge spider, gentle. I push it with the broom to go into the forest but it came back to my garden again. Resembles a Tiger Rump, but much bigger and the tiger spots? not as visible.

Notes:

As I told before, I can't separate Zebratum and Fasciatum by picture. Thanks sjl for your ID. Can you take a look of this one as well and confirm the ID of Zebratum? Thanks and welcome to Project Noah!

The abdomen banding pattern shows is zebratum, two thin orange bands in front of the urticating hair patch, which do not join together and do not merge to give an orange spot anterior to the urticating patch.

If you call this one huge than it is Cyclosternum fasciatum and if the other one was smaller than this one, the other one is not Cyclosternum fasciatum but Metriopelma zebratum. But I can't separate them picture (if you ever can).

Thank you so much, FrancisQuintana.
