The Gooty sapphire tarantula is a large spider with bright blue hair, the only blue species in its genus. It lives in a small patch of forest in southern India, where it makes its home in holes in tall trees. It is critically endangered, so it is rare and needs protection.1

Gịnị ka nsị ọ na-agba na-eme?

Its venom may cause intense pain, although this is judged from the experience of keepers bitten by other spiders in the genus. A bite may cause a rise in heart rate, followed by sweating, headache, stinging, cramping or swelling. These effects can last for up to a week.1

Ihe ize ndụ nye mmadụ: Ọ dị njọỊta ya chọrọ dọkịta. Ọnwụ anaghị adịkarị ma ọlị.

No human death from its bite has ever been recorded. Its bite is still considered medically significant. Most bites are dry bites, where no venom is injected. It can move quickly and may defend itself when cornered.1

Gịnị ka ọ na-eme mgbe ụjọ tụrụ ya?

It is skittish and will try to flee first. It also flees from light, as it is sensitive to it. If provoked, it may bite.1
