A whip scorpion (possibly Paraphrynus sp.) stalking a young tarantula (Possibly Avicularia sp. or Psalmopoeus pulcher) on a wall of the park’s station toilets into the Darien National Park at night. I never knew what happened to the spider but the day after I only saw a empty funnel web... probably there was a very fat whip scorpion around! #predatoridelmicrocosmo #pickoftheday #macrophotography #hunt #thehunt #predation #stalking #scorpion #amblypygi #paraphrynus #tarantula #spider #theraphosidae #macro #yellow #wall (presso Parque Nacional de Darién) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6hnc3gnW3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vk8yzxrff7bz

My beautiful p.mexicanus !! One of my dream species and I'm so happy to finally be able to care for one :)

Shes was missing one of her leg segments when I got her but it should regrow when she molts, so far she is happy and healthy! (Also unsure of the gender but she's a she for now) 🕷️
