The Orellana Black Bloom (Pamphobeteus sp. “Coca”) is a large and striking tarantula species from South America, prized by enthusiasts for its bold appearance and impressive size.** Belonging to the Pamphobeteus genus, which includes some of the largest tarantulas in the world, this species is often referred to as the “Black Bloom Birdeater.” Juveniles typically display vibrant patterns on their abdomens, sometimes resembling a pine tree design, while adults mature into darker, velvety tones with subtle iridescence that gives them their “black bloom” name. Like other Pamphobeteus species, they are terrestrial and opportunistic burrowers, preferring warm, humid environments. They are known for rapid growth, voracious feeding habits, and a tendency to kick urticating hairs when disturbed, making them better suited for intermediate to advanced keepers. Their combination of size, beauty, and fascinating behavior makes the Orellana Black Bloom a captivating addition to the tarantula hobby
