the most METAL tarantula in the world? #tarantula #spider #metallica #metal

The Poecilotheria metallica - the Gooty Sapphire Ornamental, the Metallic Blue Tarantula and the Peacock Parachute Spider are all common names for this species.
This species is believed to be restricted to a 100 sq km region in the deciduous forest of Andhra Pradesh, in central southern India, that humans are quickly destroying by logging and clearing out land for development and agriculture. Due primarily to the destruction of its habitat, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified this species as Critically Endangered. This makes the species illegal to remove from its endemic location and exportation from their country.
Though it is not an included species on the most recent CITES list of species of Poecilotheria that are not allowed to be imported into the US or sold across state lines. Due to the bright blue coloration and unique pattern of this tarantula, it is highly sought after by hobbyists, which encourages many breeders to continue to keep and breed this species in captivity.
