Artist's Comments
A female Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, also known as the Paraguaná Blue Tarantula (Blue-green tarantula for those english speaking folks)
This is possibly the most visually stunning arachnid I have ever seen!
Taken with a Canon S1 IS with a Raynox DCR-250 super macro lens attached.
f8, 1/60, ISO 50
I've got one of these beauties myself, and yes, they DO have such bright colors, and they are really bright after they moult their old exoskeleton. Here in the US we call these "Green Bottle Blue" tarantulas, which is why I prefer to use the scientific names, since those are the same in any language.
I've had that particular tarantula for about four years now. She was a sub-adult when I got her, and still had faint stripes on her abdomen, and her colors were a bit dull, but they've really gotten bright as she's grown up.

Myself *FrozenStarRo and my friend ~Lareth were thinking of making a weekly photomanipulation features But we needed someone else with a good observing eye to help us pick the best manips so we asked for our friends' *Iardacil and ~Sylwiaa help. The result can be found here.

Is there some tread left on those tires, or is it just like throwing a hot dog down the hallway? Family Guy
