''Avicularia'' is a genus of the family Theraphosidae containing various species of tarantulas. The genus is native to tropical South America. Each species in the genus has very distinguishable pink foot pads. One of the most notable features of the ''Avicularia'' species is its odd method of defense. When threatened, their first choice is to jump or run away as quickly as possible - occasionally, though, they will launch a jet of excrement at the perceived threat. Adults are capable of good accuracy and a range of 0.5–1 m (2 or 3 feet). There is also a belief that they may be the reason behind rumors of "flying spiders" in the rainforests they are native to, as they are quite adept at jumping. Their legs, however, prevent them from gaining much height in making a jump. ''Avicularia avicularia'' are among the tarantulas most commonly kept as pets. ==Species== ''Avicularia'' (Lamarck, 1818) Type species: ''Avicularia avicularia'' Transferred to other genera: ''Avicularia annulipes'' → ''Euoplos annulipes'' (''Idiopidae'') ''Avicularia anthracina'' → ''Grammostola antracina'' ''Avicularia aureoceps'' → ''Brachypelma aureoceps'' ''Avicularia bistriata'' → ''Ephebopus murinus'' ''Avicularia borelli'' → ''Grammostola borelli'' ''Avicularia brunnipes'' → ''Kochiana brunnipes'' ''Avicularia caniceps'' → ''Aphonopelma caniceps'' ''Avicularia conspersa'' → ''Rachias conspersus'' (''Nemesiidae'') ''Avicularia cyaneopubescens'' → ''Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens'' ''Avicularia deborrii'' (Becker, 1879) → ''Tapinauchenius plumipes'' ''Avicularia dubia'' → ''Vitalius dubius'' ''Avicularia duplex'' → ''Aphonopelma duplex'' ''Avicularia embrithes'' → ''Brachypelma embrithes'' ''Avicularia emilia'' → ''Brachypelma emilia'' ''Avicularia epicureana'' → ''Brachypelma epicureanum'' ''Avicularia geotoma'' → ''Aphonopelma geotoma'' ''Avicularia guyana'' → ''Eupalaestrus guyanus'' ''Avicularia hageni'' → ''Aphonopelma hageni'' ''Avicularia helluo'' → ''Aphonopelma helluo'' ''Avicularia hespera'' → ''Aphonopelma hesperum'' ''Avicularia imperatrix'' → ''Plesiopelma imperatrix'' ''Avicularia lanceolata'' → ''Aphonopelma lanceolatum'' ''Avicularia latens'' → ''Aphonopelma latens'' ''Avicularia magdalena'' (Karsch, 1879) → ''Hapalopus formosus'' ''Avicularia marxi'' → ''Aphonopelma marxi'' ''Avicularia mendozae'' → ''Grammostola mendozae'' ''Avicularia mesomelas'' → ''Megaphobema mesomelas'' ''Avicularia minax'' (Thorell, 1894) → ''Grammostola doeringi'' ''Avicularia muritelaria'' (Holmberg, 1876) → ''Kukulcani ahibernalis'' (1842 ) ''Avicularia myodes'' → ''Plesiopelma myodes'' ''Avicularia obscura'' → ''Ami obscura'' ''Avicularia pallida'' → ''Aphonopelma pallidum'' ''Avicularia palmicola'' (Mello-Leitão, 1945) → ''Iridopelma hirsutum'' ''Avicularia panamensis'' → ''Sericopelma panamense'' ''Avicularia parva'' → ''Catumiri parvum'' ''Avicularia parvior'' → ''Lasiodora parvior'' ''Avicularia pulchra'' (Mello-Leitão, 1933) and ''Avicularia recifiensis'' (& Brändle, 1996 ) → ''Pachistopelma rufonigrum'' ''Avicularia regina'' (Chamberlin, 1917) → ''Homoeomma strabo'' ''Avicularia rustica'' → ''Aphonopelma rusticum'' ''Avicularia sabulosa'' → ''Brachypelma sabulosum'' ''Avicularia saltator'' (Pocock, 1903) → ''Eupalaestrus weijenberghi'' ''Avicularia seemanni'' → ''Aphonopelma seemani'' ''Avicularia seladonia'' → ''Typhochlaena seladonia'' ''Avicularia serrata'' → ''Aphonopelma serratum'' ''Avicularia smithi'' → ''Brachypelma smithi'' ''Avicularia spinicrus'' → ''Citharacanthus spinicrus'' ''Avicularia steindachneri'' → ''Aphonopelma steindachneri'' ''Avicularia stoica'' → ''Aphonopelma stoicum'' ''Avicularia tamaulipeca'' → ''Clavopelma tamaulipeca'' ''Avicularia tripeppi'' → ''Nhandu tripeppi'' ''Avicularia truncata'' → ''Aphonopelma truncatum'' ''Avicularia vagans'' → ''Brachypelma vagans'' ''Avicularia vellutina'' → ''Vitalius vellutinus'' ''Avicularia violacea'' → ''Tapinauchenius violaceus'' ''Avicularia wacketi'' → ''Vitalius wacketi'' ''Avicularia zorodes'' → ''Iridopelma zorodes'' *''Avicularia affinis'' (Nicolet, 1849) — Chile *''Avicularia ancylochira'' (Mello-Leitão, 1923) — Brazil, the Peruvian Red Stripe Pinktoe, Peruvian Red And Black Pinktoe, Peruvian Monochromatic Pinktoe *''Avicularia arabica'' (Strand, 1908) — South America?
