Brazilian Black Tarantula (Gramostola Pulchra)

The Brazilian Black Tarantula is a beautiful species of tarantula known for being jet black in color, hence the name. This is a "new world" species meaning it has adopted urticating hairs instead of a highly venomous bite.

Description
These tarantulas are almost jet black in color and some individuals can grow to 8" in leg span, though they average about 6".

Confusing Species
Brazilian black tarantulas (Grammostola pulchra) are often confused with the Argentinian black tarantula and the Uruguay black beauty.
