Psalmopoeus near Playa del Carmen, MX

I haven't posted in a while, but I figured this was worth sharing. I spent a week in the Yucatan and came across a Psalmopoeus sp. in a tree hole. I tried to remove her, but she wouldn't budge. I did, however, manage to pull out a few 1st instar slings that she was caring for. They were getting ready to molt so I took a few back to my hotel to see if they would. Sure enough, a day later, they popped. I'm guessing they're probably Psalmopoeus reduncus.

That is ridiculously cool.

Few people get to see these in their natural habitat.


Looks weird, like an arboreal nemesiid retreat, haha
