Description
Selenocosmiinae sp. Kordillera – Kordillera Earth Tiger
Introducing Selenocosmiinae sp. Kordillera, the Kordillera Earth Tiger — an undescribed fossorial tarantula from the Cordillera mountain range of the Philippines. A true gem for serious Old World collectors, this species brings the signature intensity of Asian earth tigers with a geographic origin that sets it apart from the more commonly seen Vietnamese and Thai counterparts.
Like all Selenocosmiinae, the Kordillera Earth Tiger is a confirmed burrower that will disappear into deep substrate and rarely surface — making every encounter a reward. Expect rich earthy coloration, a robust build, and the lightning-fast defensive response characteristic of Old World fossorials. No urticating hairs; this species relies entirely on speed and attitude.
