I have a question regarding this 2 sp. I have this 2 sp but they are pretty similar for me. Is there a distinct visual difference between the sling of this sp?

Oh I see, so it is downgraded into Avicularia avicularia M2 while kwitara is an M6. But is there distinction regarding this two morphotype as a sling?

I’ve owned both and I don’t remember there being a difference at certain sizes BUT sp Kwitara early on start to change color a bit. I do remember them being a bit different than some other Avics from the East side of S America
