It is still commonly circulated under its previous name, \u003ci\u003eTapinauchenius violaceus\u003c\/i\u003e. Females and immature specimens have dark coloration that can reveal lavender-to-indigo iridescence on the legs and a violet-purple abdomen under directional lighting. In captivity, this species grows relatively quickly and constructs a dense silk-lined retreat behind cork bark or other elevated cover. It lacks urticating hairs and usually retreats rapidly when disturbed, although cornered individuals may assume a defensive posture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreebie specimens are provided at our discretion and may vary in size depending on current availability.
