Cilantica Devematha

2cm

"These extraordinary looking tarantulas are found in the Western Ghats region of India near Kerala. They were discovered by a team of researchers from the Deva Matha College in Kuravilangad, India, who discovered a total of 19 different tarantulas from 7 different genus over a 4 year period in that region. These are extremely colorful tarantulas, one of it’s common names is the “LSD Tarantula” due to the reflective and metallic sheen of colour that this species displays. As with many colorful species, this one starts out as a dull brown looking spiderling and grows quickly to display metallic and reflective hues of blue, turquoise and everything in between over it’s femurs and carapace, with a pink/grape metallic looking abdomen. It’s colors are made to look almost prismatic as light moves over the metallic shine of it’s body"
