Brazilian salmon pink bird-eating tarantula

Brazilian salmon pink bird-eating tarantula

Lasiodora parahybana

A species of Lasiodora, Also known as Brazilian salmon tarantula

The salmon pink bird-eater can attain a leg size of up to 28 cm; especially in males as their legs are longer than the female’s. Females are often bulky: they have a large body size in comparison to their legs, whereas males tend to be slender in body size. Mature males will also have tibial hooks on the front pair of legs; these hook back a female’s fangs during mating. They are a uniform black colour, and once mature, have pink-red hairs along the legs, chelicerae and abdomen, with colours tending to be more vibrant in males.

Toxic to Animals

The adult brazilian salmon pink bird-eating tarantula can deliver toxins through a bite with its fangs, primarily defending itself or capturing prey. The venom has mild toxicity and affects various animals, causing minor symptoms in humans and other larger animals, like dogs and cats, such as local pain and swelling. Meanwhile, smaller mammals may experience more pronounced effects but generally, without serious or long-term consequences, due to the venom's low potency.

Rectangle
Bite Humans

Brazilian salmon pink bird-eating tarantula typically bites humans only in self-defense, not as a predatory act. Humans are bitten if they mishandle or provoke the spider. These bites are their method of deterring threats, delivering mild venom using fangs. The consequence of a bite can include local pain or discomfort, but it is generally not medically significant.
