Tricking your eyes

[Canfire]

As I looked into the little plastic box of my newly molted T I see nothing.
My heart starts racing.
I lift all the moss up searching and looking as hard as I can.
Still nothing.
I close the cage and do a thorough inspection, surely he could have not gotten out.
I start to panic.
I check all the cupboards through and through.
And when I look up there's my damn p. pederseni sitting on his piece of wood laughing at me. I still don't know where he was all that time.

What tarantula do you think camos the best?

I would say the arboreals. They have to contend with a lot of predators, so they will commo their web tubes with materials from the surrounding area. And the color patterns of the ornamentals blend in or break up the body of the tarantula. And of course the yellow warning bands on the legs help to detour a predator when they are discovered.
