Description

Extremely rare spider. Taken in the wild at night.

Quote from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapor…
The Singapore blue (Lampropelma violaceopes) is a large, arboreal species of tarantula from Malaysia and Singapore. These spiders have been known to grow in excess of 9 inches (23 cm) across. The legs are an intense blue with a brown or gold carapace. The male is usually not as vibrant, exhibiting sexual dimorphism.

Diet consists primarily of beetles, cockroaches, crickets, pinky mice, birds and other small animals. During feeding, the abdomen (opisthosoma) will often increase its size two-fold.
