Thank you. I am here with a group on a missions trip. I was so happy to see this. Largest tarantula I've ever seen live

Very cool spotting. I have a spotting like it that is still unknown. Thanks for posting.

This specimen is probably a Antilles pinktoe tarantula (Avicularia versicolor), also known as the Martinique Red Tree Spider or the Martinique Pinktoe. Great catch. :D
