Not all new world have urticating hairs,  I want to say neither Psalmopoeus or Ephebopus have them,  although I may have those sp wrong it's been a while since I did urticating hairs research . Also not all nw t's have their urticating patch in the same place eg avicularia is on their sides and they rub them on you not flick,  so if you handle and your avic is giving you "hugs" think again. And handling,  safety first over a mattress or on a very soft carpet and never walk around or lift them high, no one wants a t pancake. Apart from that this is spot on my friend well done <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="❤️" title="Red heart    :heart:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/2764.png" data-shortname=":heart:" /></blockquote>
