Haplopelma lividum (Cobalt Blue tarantula)

Known as the Cobalt Blue Tarantula, or more realistically a pet hole, this species tends to spend much of its time underground in self built burrows This 2.5 inch bodied tarantula with a leg span of 4-5 inches has to be one of the most beautiful, yet aggressive species of tarantula. While spiderlings, their overall color is a greyish blue. Adults on the other hand look dark brown-black at first glance. With the correct lighting you will see the legs have lovely blue sheen and the coxae is sliver. The males tend to be smaller and more brownish in color. Immature specimens are less blue and the abdomen is lighter in color.
