Phormictopus cancerides

Recently molted 5'' sub-adult female.
And that my friend how photos of tarantulas should be taken. Natural lightning no direct sunlight and no flash camera. Looks like you came across one outside in Haiti. Nicely done!
 
I love how you can take photos like that. Unfortunately I have no safe areas to do that. Great pictures guys :)
 
Even with decent cell phones you can take a photo of any spiders and it would look good. The key for me has always been in a shaded area no direct sunlight and no flash. As you can see with Flexone photo his spider does not have a shadow underneath the spider. That's how I know that it was taken in a shaded area his specimens looks natural.
 
@Exoskeleton Invertebrates I agree. Although I stay in an apartment block in the inner city therefor I'm unable to take specimens outside and find a good natural looking area to place the T. The weather here gets really cold too so that probably wouldnt be a good idea even if I had a garden :(
 
Oh my gosh how did you get them to sit still outside? Today I opened my 2 inch specimens cage and she dashed out and off the desk and ran around the room before I could recapture her! Nonetheless, definitely one of my favorite species ever, and these photos are all gorgeous!
