Avicularis urticans
Huge tarantula, black with pink, bigger than my open hand.
Peruvian Amazon near Iquitos
Please, verify it nevertheless by a spider freak! There are several Avicularia sp. around the rainforest!
Thank you Bayucca for the ID, and yes, I saw it during a night walk in the same Peruvian rain forest, it was wondeful.
Just a very shy guess. I am absolutely not a spider freak, so you need verification. Take it as a hint. I walked 2 hours in the middle of the night through the Peruvian rainforest to look for this one...
I don't do spiders at all Luis, but I must say, this ones a beauty! Love the red nail polish & how fluffy she is :)
