Colorado golden tarantula (SciiFii)

The Colorado golden tarantula (Pamphobeteus colorodoensis) is a species of tarantula, most closely related to Pamphobeteus nigricolor of South America, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. As its name suggests, the Colorado golden tarantula is covered in thick, iridescent gold-colored hair all over its body, and is the state tarantula in Colorado. The colors of the juvenile northern purple tarantulas are almost identical to those of the closely-related Pamphobeteus nigricolor, with dark, almost black, gray legs, pale-pinkish body color, and red abdomens with black "Christmas tree"-like markings on top. The Colorado golden tarantula can reach a body length of 9 centimetres (3.5 inches), with a leg span of seven to eight inches. Males are smaller than female. The Colorado golden tarantulas take refuge in a long hole or under roots, insect mounds, thickets, or stones. They feed on insects (especially crickets and grasshoppers), worms, and other spiders. The egg sac may contain 500-1000 spiderlings. The conservation status of the Colorado golden tarantula is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Colorado golden tarantula's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
