hi all,

came across these in the last amazon trip back in september, there were two specimens in the space between two leaves, and one was rather agressive.

f8 @ 60th/sec ring flash on 1/4 power. taken at night.

Hi Mark,

Very nice, i would love to see these in the wild. This individual is likely to be a species of Avicularia.

Cheers,

Dan.

Good image Mark, and exposure is spot on

Be nice if you could recrop it so that far leg was a bit below the frame top edge, but that's just me being picky

I like it

It surely is hairy this thing. It's nice to see a photo of this creature in the wild for a change. Good job.

Cheers,
Marko
