The Nhandu chromatus (Brazilian Red & White) is a New World Terrestrial species from Brazil. This species is known for aggression and may kick hairs. However, there beauty makes up for any transgression. These tarantulas have a delicate white striping from the femur down. The femurs are a flat black that leads to the silvery-black (think Silverback Gorillas) of the carapace. Their abdomen is covered with beautiful fire red hairs.
