A small selection of the tarantula species i found this year in northern and eastern honduras

I was for the most part in Cusuco National park working as an invited scientist with the NGO 'operation wallacea' that gives volunteers (mostly university and school groups) experience of doing scientific projects in the neotropics. Most of the pictures of two different Citharacanthus species are from collections made within Cusuco National park, which is high montaine cloud forest, and a nationally protected area. Many of the areas i visited were remote, involving lots of mud, long walks, sleeping in a hammock, bathroom facilities being a trench and a spade, and a diet of mostly rice and beans. Jungle life isnt for everyone - but to me its amazing there. A few other pics are from trips i made around the east and north of Honduras when not in Cusuco.
