Indian Ornamental Tarantula

Poecilotheria regalis

Venomous tarantula.

Defending or attacking, it is quick and unpredictable. Its bite cannot cause death, but it is very venomous and can cause muscle pain, nausea, and fever.

It is characterised by well-defined motifs on its back and black and yellow marks under its legs which are used to intimidate potential predators.
