As far as hating light goes, pretty much all Old Worlds seem very sensitive to bright lights. Species that I've noticed from my own experiences that seem really sensitive in particular include Heteroscodra maculata, Stromatopelma calceatum, Pterinochilus sp. , Lampropelma sp., Haplopelma sp.,  some Poecilotheria sp. I've noticed that some, like Augacephalus sp. And Ceratogyrus sp. Don't seem as sensitive to it, but I'm sure if you shined a flashlight beam on them long enough they'd eventually get annoyed by it. As for New Worlds, I can say that Ephebopus species appear very sensitive to light, Some of the Psalmopoeus sp do as well (especially irminia), and Tapinauchenius.</p></blockquote><p></p>
