Another Old World arboreal species from Asia, the Phormingochilus rufus (Peach Earth-Tiger)is fast and will defend itself if needed. When you are ready for an Old World arboreal species with a striking display of color then check this tarantula out. The beautiful orang, almost fawn, color runs throughout the legs, carapace, and abdomen. The “tiger” striped on the abdomen are a nice contrast to the main color.
