- This New World Obligate Burrower is from Brazil.
- Because of their defensive nature and speed, they aren't the best species to handle. If approached they will usually go into a threat posture.
- The adult size is about 4".
- This spider has a somewhat inappropriate "common name", as the emerald sheen about the carapace and the greenish tint to the anterior dorsal side of the abdomen fade quite quickly after a molt. Likewise, the "skeleton" stripes are not evident. Most of the time, they are generally a khaki to olive color. Fresh after a molt, the green hues are more evident, and the inside of legs I have a purple/blue tone.
