- This New World arboreal is from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It has also been reported from Cuba, but this is not yet scientifically verified. It is also reportedly from Brazil.
- As you can see in the picture, they start out as bright blue slings, just like the Caribena versicolor. As they age and grow they will turn different colors, such as pink, red and purple. Adults are tan/brown/bronze with the pink toes.
- Here's the adult female description: "Carapace brown with golden short body setae. Carapace border long setae the same color as dorsal carapace short body setae. Coxae, labium, sternum and maxillae brown, slightly darker than ventral femora. Legs and palps with golden short body setae with green sheen and dark brown long guard-setae, gradually lightening from base to tip. Leg rings on distal femora, tibiae and metatarsi whitish. Tarsi with an “U” shaped orange stripe. Abdomen with golden brown guard-setae homogeneously distributed and golden short body setae. Ventral abdomen brown. Urticating setae form very distinctive small golden patch on dorso posterior area of abdomen." Fukushima, C. S. & Bertani, R. (2017)
