- Also known as Ecuador Birdeater, Ecuadorian Copper Tree Spider, Purple Tree Spider.
- This New World Arboreal is from Ecuador.
- They are velvet in appearance, showing blue, purple and green.
- The adult size is around 5".
- Tapinauchenius are FAST moving as spiderlings (THE fastest tarantula, in our experience), and have a tendency to jump. As they mature, they become less skittish. If startled, it will make a short sprint. This is not a defensive tarantula, and it is doesn't have urticating hairs.
