Tliltocatl albopilosus (previously Brachypelma albopilosum) is a species of tarantula,[1] also known as the curlyhair tarantula. The species' native range is Nicaragua and Costa Rica.[1][2] They are largely terrestrial, opportunistically burrowing spiders.
This tarantula is covered in long bristles that have a characteristic curl to them giving them a unique look, which is why they are nick-named "curly-haired" tarantulas.
