Cyriocosmus aueri

How muchPrey no bigger than the spider's body. 1 item: a flightless fruit fly, a pre-killed cricket leg, or a confused-flour-beetle larva. Pre-kill for the very smallest — a spiderling can be hurt by a lively feeder.

Peruvian Dwarf RedlegNew World dwarf terrestrial from Peru — same tiny, fast-growing build as the rest of the genus, with red-toned legs against a dark body. Deep moisture-retentive substrate to burrow in, one damp corner, good ventilation. Secretive and quick; spends much of its life below ground. Prey stays proportionally tiny for life — a fruit fly is a meal well past the sling stage. Beginner.
