Papercraft Mexican Tarantula

The Mexican red-kneed tarantula is native to the deciduous forests of southwestern Mexico. Red knees live in burrows in the soil for protection.  Their burrows also provide a hiding place for them to ambush prey. This papercraft tarantula was created by illustrator Patrick Pasques who recolored a paper model of an Indian sapphire tarantula he produced for a papercraft book featuring endangered animals. A free download of the template for the spider in the photo may be found here.
