The Antilles Pinktoe Tarantula

I am the prettiest tarantula in the Caribbean Sea
My web is the most intricate of my kind, a cone in a tree.
When I get larger my tummy turns red, and my legs turn purple-green.
Anole lizards are my absolutely favorite cuisine.

Hello Caren … a pretty spider! I'd like to see that - in reality Caren, I don't mind spiders at all. Down here, we have a house spider named, huntsman. Because of its size, it scares the living daylights out of many, but it's harmless - thanks Caren - Lindsay

I appreciate your stop by Lindsay. I do not mind some spiders, and I think snakes are rather pretty. I have actually saved some baby snakes from my cat and have no fear of them. I was thinking what would be fun to write about so I googled pretties spider, and she came up.
