18-407: A synonyms of Aphonopelma and Avicularia , respectively. In 1997, Gunter Schmidt considered the species sufficiently distinct to warrant the new genus Chromatopelma , a name referring to its striking blue color. He differentiated Chromatopelma from Aphonopelma based on the scopulae of the tarsus on the third leg, bristles that divide the metatarsus from the tarsus on the fourth leg,
27-440: A large contact area. When the scopulae are splayed out and placed against a surface, remarkable adhesion is produced due to the accumulation of adhesion of each individual setule interacting with a substrate. The adhesion may be due to the excretion of liquid from adhesive pads, although setae can adhere in both dry and wet modes. This enables spiders with scopulae to climb even sheer, smooth surfaces such as glass. The adhesion

They are native to
63-401: Is so great that the spider could grip using this force and support 170 times its own weight. Possible physical mechanisms may include capillary, electrostatic, viscous, or Van der Waals force . (Niederegger et al 2002; Betz and Kölsch, 2004) Scopulae have been used in taxonomy to identify families, especially Mygalomorphae . Scopulae are found in addition to, not instead of, the claws at
72-577: The Paraguaná Peninsula . They live in webbed burrows under bushes and tree roots in desert areas of northern Venezuela . The entrance is often extended with webbing, sometimes resembling a funnel shape. These webs may protect the entrance from the harsh desert climate and act as a trap for insects. Their diet can consist of many things. These include crickets , cockroaches and also worms. In 2013, Venezuelan scientists announced that greenbottle blue tarantulas were threatened by overgrazing that

They are found mostly on hunting spiders, for example Salticidae and Sparassidae . Scopulae consist of microscopic hairs, known as setae , which are each covered in even smaller hairs called setules or "end feet", resulting in
