Brachypelma auratum (Mexican flameknee tarantula)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Brachypelma auratum (also called Mexican flame knee) is a tarantula endemic to the regions of Guerrero and Michoacán in Mexico. It is similar in appearance to the Brachypelma smithi, albeit slightly darker. Due to the similarities it wasn't considered a distinct species until 1992.
