"Rare Electric Blue Tarantula Species Discovered in Thailand"

A new species of tarantula, known as the bamboo culm tarantula, has been discovered in a mangrove forest in Thailand. Despite its vibrant blue appearance, the spider's body does not contain blue pigments. Instead, the blue color is created by the unique structure of its hair, which incorporates nanostructures that manipulate light. This species was previously found on the commercial tarantula market but had not been documented in terms of its distinctive features or natural habitat.
