Ischnocolus andalusiacus

Ischnocolus andalusiacus is a small tarantula species found in Spain and Portugal. It is one of several species in the genus Ischnocolus. Key facts about I. andalusiacus: Adult females have a body length of around 2-3 cm, with males being slightly smaller. The coloration is typically a dark brown to black, with no distinct patterns or markings. I. andalusiacus is a terrestrial species that inhabits rocky or mountainous areas, often constructing burrows under stones or in crevices. This species is known for its relatively small size and its adaptations to arid or semi-arid habitats. The natural history and behavior of this species in the wild are poorly studied, and more research is needed to understand its ecology and conservation status. The current conservation status of I. andalusiacus is unknown, and further research is required to assess any potential threats to its populations in the wild. As with many tarantula species in the Iberian Peninsula, habitat loss and degradation may pose risks to wild populations.
