Psalmopoeus irminia, also known as the Venezuelan Suntiger. Or "Suntiger" for short. Both male (top, right) and female (bottom,left) were very shy and played "footsies" for nearly an hour before the actual mating took place. They paired for only a few seconds before the male bolted. He must believe he has some time left, enough it's worth running away for. If you can believe it this boy matured in August of last year! I'm unsure he is still fertile but this gal will have another, younger date very soon...Just to be sure :)
