Most beautiful tarantulas/spiders to be added (wishlist)

Typhochlaena seladonia
Peacock spider
Purple bloom or purple starburst spider - Pamphobeteus machala
Colombian lesserblack tarantula - Xenesthis immanis
Martinique Red Tree Spider
Brazilian Crab Spider, Eight Spotted Crab Spider or flower crab spider
Sequinned spider
Orchard spider

Most of these species are sexually dimorphic or change with age with the end result being the most beautiful spiders in the world.
And I don’t like spiders so this should make a big statement on their beauty and there interesting behaviour.
If I missed any of your eight legged favourites make sure to list them below😀!
Also last thing please go check out my reptile wishlist it’s really long and has the most beautiful reptiles on there with some ideas on how to make some species more interesting with things such as morphs in geckos etc.

There are some great spiders on that list. Some others I would love to see include:
  • Desertas wolf spider (Hogna ingens) - The largest wolf spider species, critically endangered and now part of a captive breeding programme
  • Polychromatic earth tiger tarantula (Haploclastus devamatha) - Vividly coloured; it has also been called the LSD earth tiger, but that may be a little too drug-reference-y for a game suitable for children
  • Silver false tarantula (Calisoga longitarsus)
  • Blue-and-red orbweaver (Opadometa sarawakensis)
  • Long-horned orbweaver (Macracantha arcuata)
If I were to be cheeky and include a non-spider arachnid on my little wishlist, it would be this species:
  • Orange harvestman (Sadocus polyacanthus) - A sexually-dimorphic species from Chile - the male looks like a jack-o-lantern with horns while the female has stripes of black, green and orange

Nice spiders would some of these additions!😀
Also I like that orb weaver and lsd tarantula but search up the Typhochlaena (most beautiful tarantula in my opinion) and Orchard Orbweaver.
1 more addition in tarantulas I would like is the thrigmopoeus psychedelicus.
