Haitian Brown Tarantulas

Haitian brown tarantulas, or Phormictopus cancerides, exhibit highly defensive behavior. They are most common in warm, rainforest habitats. They are solitary spiders that rarely leave their homes. However, they will emerge in search of food. 

Haitian brown tarantulas stalk and ambush prey. The venom of the Haitian brown tarantula immobilizes prey, while digestive enzymes liquefy the body to prepare it for consumption.

These tarantulas may grow as large as nine inches in size. Although blue as spiderlings, adults exhibit purple or bronze coloration. Some Haitian browns may be dull in color, while others appear more vibrant.
