A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
It is a male, has ~ 14cm in diameter with stretched legs, is very docile and, of course, according to what I have informed so far, it is a Lasiodora species. Very interesting the light pink spots (similar to the lack of pignmentation in some areas) that it has in its legs and thorax.
Brazilian Atlantic Forest, Minas Gerais. This specimen was found in the urban area, but close to a fragment of forest. By self experience I know that they prefer to inhabit dense woods.
I'm sorry for the pictures, made with the cell phone. No equipment, my nature photographer stage was paused. :) It was about to be crushed by my neighbor, so I decided to save it and keep it in a vivarium for a while, at least until I can identify it more accurately. Thank you all for any help!
