| This illustration is also available as stock art. | Artist's notes: This was the first tarantula (and spider) I had ever drawn. While I think it's a good drawing, the fact is that it was a little tricky to drawn, as the fine hairs of the tarantula's leg tend to clump together if you're not careful. The coloration of this arachnid is amazing and it overall was a lot of fun to draw.
| Information about the Mexican Red-Kneed Tarantula:The Mexican Red-knee tarantula lives in the western portion of the Pacific Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. They do not live in deserts, as has been previously been stated in books, but rather in scrub forests where the forest floor is shady and the environment fairly humid. Because the redknee is fairly a docile species of spider is it considered a good pet for people who enjoy keeping tarantulas. FREE SHIPPING IN THE US! |
