Metriopelma breyeri

Metriopelma breyeri is a tarantula species found in Mexico. It is one of nine species currently recognized in the genus Metriopelma. Key facts about M. breyeri: Adult females have a body length of around 5-6 cm, with males being slightly smaller. The coloration is typically a uniform dark brown to black, with a slight bronze or coppery sheen on the legs and carapace. M. breyeri is a fossorial species that inhabits burrows or scrapes under rocks or debris on the forest floor. This species is known for its occurrence in the high-elevation oak forests of central Mexico. 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 M. breyeri is unknown, and further research is required to assess any potential threats to its populations in the wild. As with many tarantula species in Mexico, habitat loss and degradation due to land-use changes may pose risks to wild populations.
