Venezuelan Green Bottle Blue (Chromatopelma cyanopubescens)
This species of Tarantula grows to an adult size 4-4.5 inches. When adult they are very colorful with blue legs, green carapace and orange abdomen.

As they mature into juveniles, their legs turn dark in color, the abdomen increases in red patterning and the carapace starts turning a reddish color.
