Tarantula en la cabaña

Tarantula en la cabaña

At night the tarantulas would come down from the thatched roofs to feed on insects and small children. Our cabañas were comfy open air with nets over the beds to keep out the mosquitos, tarantulas and caimans.
We named this tarantula Maria Alanzo Conchita del Rio. A long name for a cuddly little spider.
