Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 236714" data-attributes="member: 49228">Avicularia minatrix is known commonly as the Slate Red Pink Toe. The species epithet of their scientific name, "minatrix" means "threatener" or "one who threatens." I do not think that name is a fair assessment because this species is fast too shy to be threatening. If you actually catch this spider out sunning itself, do not make a sound! They instantly vanish at the slightest disturbance. Just the same, I have managed to snap a few great pics of the two specimens at Josh’s Frogs. These are La Comejo and Eulalia. They are named after female Venezuelan freedom fighters.[ATTACH=full]75339[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]75340[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
