Its a molt in his mouth, not the actual spider. ;)

If you collected this specimen from outside again, then just put it back where you found it and let nature take its course.

Okay...how do you know there's a parasite? And why would you keep her outdoors, the rules of captivity don't apply there.

Why keep her outside? And how would that ever be a good idea?

If there is a parasite, there's really nothing you can do.

Stop swearing. Doesn't sound cool and it's against the rules.

Predatory wasp most likely, the larvae will slowly eat her from the inside. If you knew they were around, why would you risk keeping her outside...not the smartest move man.

Large parasitic wasps lay their eggs on the outside of the spider and then the larvae burrow into it. They also only lay eggs in the victim once it's in a secure burrow so I don't think the parasite is from a wasp

IMO I would just dispose of the tarantula. That spider is long gone

Definitely agree. If it is a parasite, which I'm not convinced it is, it's likely a member of Acroceridae, if it is an insect, or its a worm, possibly nematomorpha or mermithidae. There are ectoparasitic wasp species that don't paralyze the spider, but they're more little vampires and would probably be visible in stages late enough to do this to a T, if they could at all.

Bro i agree with you , i think is a worm, i cant loss this tarantula bro. We must see this <edit>, dont you wana know wat is inside?

I had one 4 years ago died by a worm parasit. But was a diferent parasite, german cientist stefan kurdsier told me was a worm that entered trhough the lungs, and i saw the <edit> but he leave the spider and died i sont know why but i have a picture somewhere

But. She wasnr a zombie. She was beautifull i took lots of pictures wih her in hand she was a normal spider she even molted. But the spider never ate i never could feed her 4 months or 3 passed and the worm got outside ans she finaly rest , so this case is diferent cuz now is a complete zobie

That <edit> is a fly look my print read it

I personally wouldn't trust that type of an article, it doesn't even site any sources.

Edit: however, I did find this https://bugguide.net/node/view/7016 which states 5-10 for parasites of mygalomorphs, so if that is an juvenile Lasiodora, chances are it is not this type of parasite, or if it is, it is too early for it to be mature and emerging before the spider passes.

I'm not sure why you're convinced that it is a parasite to begin with, it could be a number of problems from impaction, to internal defects, to some kind of environmental hazard that did it in, especially given it is a wild caught specimen. Until a parasite emerges or is removed post mortem there is nothing suggesting that this IS a parasite.
