Spider Saturday: Cobalt Blue Tarantula

For this week’s  Spider Saturday post, I have a tarantula that is known to be fast, aggressive, reclusive, and nervous.   A cobalt blue tarantula (Haplopelma lividum) can be found in the forests of Southeast Asia, however I photographed this guy at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum’s annual Bug Fair, in 2008.
