You sure that's an Avic? It looks like a Chilean Rosehair(Grammostola rosea)to me. All the Avic avics I've ever seen were shiny blue-black with a reddish abdomen and the characteristic pink "toes". I'm pretty sure that one is a Rosie in the pic. Still a nice pic; can't ever get tired of looking at tarantula pics!

The common name for this tarantula is "Chilean Rose-haired" tarantula, and the scientific name is Grammostola rosea. Many large tarantulas ARE called "bird-eating" spiders, or simply "bird spiders", because some DO get big enough to kill a small bird or a lizard or a mouse, but this species does not get that large. I have a relative, Grammostola aureostriata, which is big enough to kill and eat a fully-grown mouse, and I will post a picture of her later this evening.
