Yes, the same species that was commonly exported and sold as Avicularia sp. "Peru purple" is now commonly showing up as "A. urticans".

This name cycle with some Avics repeats itself over the years. It may be easier to export an "identified" species... hence pegging the name A. urticans on them.

LMAO!!! Do you know how long I have been trying to correctly ID this species. It all makes sense now. So are you positive on Sp. peru?

Edit:

Can anyone tell me the difference between the one I posted, A.urticans and A.sp Peru?

Here is a link.

Thanks Juan. Just to clear this up, my specimens were wild caught from Peru.

Just got a message for Rick West. I asked about his pictures and compared them to mine. This is what he said:

"Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing from an image. This species
'appears'
to be Avicularia urticans."

quote: "Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing from an image" when you compare metallica whit any other sp that it look like it yes is not way you need to see it in person but urtican's are more like red green and that my friend is a sp peru if u see it have more purple that green to me i will bet my underwear to any one that is sp peru
