    Big nasty scary Tarantula! That's what it is! I'm so scared of spiders...

    But seriously, possibly a Rose Hair?

    I would bet that its a beat up Rose Hair.

    Looks like shes lost all her hairs from stress n such.

    I'm not an expert, but it look like a RCF Rosie (Red Color Phase) or something like that.

    Re: Tarantula ID help

    Thanks for the link, it was driving me crazy trying to figure out what she was. What makes it worse is I stink at tarantula ID'ing. Where did you get her from?
