Visitor in our garden. Not exactly sure what type of insect it is, but he or she’s beautiful! It’s about 2,5cm long.

Acanthoscurria geniculata | Giant White Knee (mature male, ~6″)

So while this isn’t my photo, this is my tarantula! My mature male here is off on loan to Palp Friction to pair with their female. I was given permission to post this photo they took! Apparently this followed after a pairing attempt, where things didn’t go according to plan and the female decided to lunge for him. The scaredy cat ran and ended up in the breeder’s palm. He’s been with them for a number of months, so I forgot how big he was!

The awesome team at Palp Friction are some of my favorites to buy tarantulas from and I highly recommend them!
