Poecilotheria Metallica Tarantula

Species: P. metallica
Behavior
P. metallica's behaviour parallels that of many arboreal spiders. In the wild, P. metallica live in holes of tall trees where they make asymmetric funnel webs. Their primary prey consists of various flying insects, which they seize in flight and paralyze. It has been observed that the spiders of this genus may live communally when territory, i.e. number of holes per tree, is limited.
