Avicularia avicularia, commonly known as the pinktoe tarantula, inhabits tropical rainforests of South America. It is noted for its vibrant pink-tipped feet, arboreal lifestyle, and docile nature. This species spins silk to create tube-like retreats in tree canopies and is a nocturnal hunter, feeding on insects and small vertebrates.

Avicularia avicularia, commonly known as the pinktoe tarantula, is native to South America. Its geographical distribution includes countries such as Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and Trinidad and Tobago. The species is primarily found in tropical rainforests within these regions.

The pinktoe tarantula inhabits humid and warm environments typical of tropical rainforests. These areas are characterized by high humidity levels, temperatures ranging from 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F), and abundant rainfall throughout the year.

Avicularia avicularia is an arboreal species, often residing in the canopies of trees. They create silken retreats in the crevices of tree branches or within foliage, which provide protection from predators and environmental elements. The species is adapted to a life above the forest floor, utilizing its agility and lightweight structure to navigate through the vegetation. This arboreal lifestyle allows it to exploit food resources such as insects and small invertebrates found in the canopy.
