Join us on an extraordinary journey into the heart of the Peruvian Andes, where the BirdspidersCH team uncovers Antikuna, a newly described genus of tarantulas that embodies the rugged beauty of its mountainous home. The name, derived from the Quechua word for 'Andes,' reflects its deep connection to this unique region.
In this video, we introduce Antikuna cyanofemur, one of the most beautiful species of the genus, and explore its fascinating features that set it apart from other highland tarantulas like Bistriopelma, Hapalotremus, and Thrixopelma. From its unique urticating setae to its intricate reproductive structures, Antikuna reveals a world of adaptation and evolution in extreme environments.
We also showcase the natural habitat of Antikuna cyanofemur, thriving in shallow burrows beneath rocks amidst snowfall and cold temperatures. Witness a healthy population of adult females and juveniles, including freshly hatched nymphs—living proof of this species' resilience.
As passionate advocates for wildlife preservation, BirdspidersCH documented this discovery to raise awareness and deter poaching. Highland tarantulas like Antikuna are unsuited for captivity, and their survival depends on remaining undisturbed in the wild.
