Ctenus sp. with yellow arrow patterns, Uraba, Colombia Found on the forest floor. It has an interesting set of arrow-like yellow shapes on its abdomen. Using some superficial visual searching, it somewhat resembles that of species in the Hapalopus genus, but not quite a full match. Plus, this one did not come across as a tarantula to me. Apparently, there are Dwarf Tarantulas though, so I&#039;m confused:<br />
