Psalmopoeus reduncus, known as the Costa Rican Orange Mouth, is distinguished by its striking orange markings around the mouthparts. Unlike many New World tarantulas, it lacks urticating hairs, relying instead on its speed and agility for defense. This species is arboreal, preferring to reside in tree hollows and other elevated structures. Its impressive growth rate and vibrant coloration make it a captivating choice for intermediate tarantula enthusiasts.
