Man I don't know how no one has said Idiothele Mira!

ornithoctonus aureotibialis is up there for me too. I love that deep velvet black with the orange bands.
But the cream of the crop for me is def the M. Balfouri

Yeah, those definitely look nice. I believe you've linked to a picture of Haplopelma sp."Bach Ma," though. Also one of the prettiest haplos and worth a mention here, so no complaint from me!

My favorites are P. murinus, S. philippinus and T. gigas. Obviously I prefer orange Ts.

G pulchra



LOVE G pulchra. Big fan of the straight up jet black. Simple yet stunning.

I was so surprised to see that you were the only one to list an OBT as it was the 2nd I thought of. The OBT might be really common but it has to be up there doesn't it? However, there are many reasons why, when I was forced to downsize my collection to literally a single T, my Poec. metallica was the sole survivor. One of those reasons of course being because no matter how cliche it might be, they are still the most beautiful looking T in my opinion. Plus I'm a huge sucker for blue since the others that run through my head are H. lividum, L. violaceopes, C. brachyramosa, and I have always loved versicolor slings.

OBT was in my list too! :)
To be fair I did list my top 14 so I don't know if that counts...

oops my fault, I missed it in your list. Seriously if it wasn't for my infatuation with blue, the OBT would probably get my vote.

I've got pics of Ecuadorian spiders that the owner would like to have ID'd. Just gotta get the pics from him with no watermark. He said he should be able to send them to me tomorrow night.

Here is one I consider beautiful
HOW DID YOU GET GOLD LEAF ON THAT THING? It's gorgeous! What species is that?

I think M. balfouri might be the prettiest in my book. Something about the blue legs + fluffy tan thighs is such an appealing combination to me. Went to the petstore a few days ago and saw a M. balfouri sling for sale for 100$. Oh the temptation. Someday...
