"Rare Electric Blue Tarantula Unearthed in Thailand"

A new species of tarantula with a mesmerizing electric blue coloration has been discovered in Thailand. The researchers found the spider during an expedition to study tarantula diversity in the country. The blue color comes from the unique structure of the spider's hair, which incorporates nanostructures that manipulate light. The species, named Chilobrachys natanicharum, is adaptable and can live in both terrestrial and arboreal environments. However, due to the decline of mangrove forests, the electric blue tarantula is considered one of the world's rarest tarantulas.
