Electric blue tarantula species discovered in Thailand

  • Researchers in Thailand have discovered a new species of tarantula with a mesmerizing blue-violet hue. The spider was found during an expedition to Phang-Nga province and is one of the rarest tarantulas in the world.
  • The tarantula, named Chilobrachys natanicharum, was found living in a mangrove forest in Thailand. However, the decline of these forests due to deforestation has made the species even rarer.
  • This discovery follows a previous finding by the same team, who discovered another previously unknown tarantula species living in bamboo plants. The newly found tarantula was given the name Taksinus bambus.
