Thrigmopoeus truculentus is commonly known as the Lesser Goa Mustard Tarantula. They get their common name from three different factors. “Lesser” (smaller of the tarantulas from their area) “Goa” (a state in India) and “Mustard” (refers to the mustard brown coloration of adults). Thrigmopoeus truculentus has the ability to stridulate (make hissing noises by rubbing its legs together) when it feels threatened. This spiderling still has its baby colors which are a shiny, olive brown. They may not be the most colorful spider in the world, but they make up for it with that handsome pattern!
