Green-legged tarantula (SciiFii)

The green-legged tarantula (Chromatopelma floridanus), also known as the green-legged blue tarantula, the lilac-backed tarantula, and the lilac-backed blue tarantula, is a species of tarantula, most closely related to the greenbottle blue tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) of Venezuela, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across the southeastern United States to help boost biodiversity. Commonly known as green-legged blue tarantulas due to the species' metallic green legs and the lilac-colored abdomens, they are very active and fast-growing tarantulas that are particularly attractive to hobbyists. They live in webbed burrows under bushes, cacti, shrubs, and tree roots. The entrance is often extended with webbing, sometimes resembling a funnel shape. These webs may protect the entrance from the harsh humid and arid climates and act as a trap for insects. Their diet can consist of many things. These include crickets, roaches, worms, and many other smaller animals. The conservation status of the green-legged tarantula is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the green-legged tarantula's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
