Ybyrapora diversipes is a striking arboreal Tarantula from Brazil. These are best kept in the same parameters as Avicularia & Caribena species, arboreal enclosure with a piece of vertical cork bark (or similar) with list misting on the webbing every few days. These are not known to be defensive but may bolt if startled, generally these are an easy Tarantula to keep and make a great starting point for new keepers looking to get into keeping arboreal Tarantulas. Although these aren’t the largest available, they’re certainly a contender for the most beautiful!
