The cobalt blue tarantula is a medium size tarantula with a leg span of approximately 13 cm (5"). The cobalt blue tarantula is noted for its [|iridescent] blue legs and light gray [|prosoma] and [|opisthosoma], the latter of which may contain darker gray chevrons. [|[1]] Males and females look the same until the ultimate (final) molt of the males. At this point the male will exhibit [|sexual dimorphism] in the form of a light tan or bronze coloration and legginess. Additionally males will gain embolus on the pedipalps and tibial apophysis (mating hooks). The cobalt blue tarantula is a [|fossorial] species and spends nearly all of its time in deep burrows of its own construction. http://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityoflife/spiders/
