The pink toe tarantula gets its name for a pretty obvious reason. That’s not nail polish on its leg tips. This pretty spider was photographed on a palm leaf in French Guiana.
Oddly enough, young pink toe tarantulas are dark-toed with pink bodies. As they mature the color pattern reverses. Growing up to six inches in length, the pink toe tarantula usually jumps away when threatened, but have been known to attack in self-defense.
