Bleeding through thorn scrub. Climbing into rainforest few ever reach. All for one spider almost no one alive has filmed in the wild — the Antillena rickwesti, the Caribbean's rarest relative of the classic pink toe tarantula.
This is the trailer for our upcoming full documentary. Found nowhere else on Earth, this endemic Hispaniolan tarantula is so unique that scientists created an entire new genus just for it. We went deep into the southwestern Dominican Republic to find it — and what we saw was worth every scratch.
🎬 The full documentary drops soon. This is just the first glimpse.
🕷️ In the full film:
The brutal trek through thorn scrub to reach this spider's hidden habitat
A rare wild encounter with the Antillena rickwesti — a cousin of the pink toe tarantula (Caribena versicolor / Antilles pinktoe)
Arboreal tarantula behavior you'll never see in an enclosure
Why this Vulnerable species matters and what it tells us about Caribbean wildlife
If you've ever kept a pink toe tarantula or love rare wildlife and Caribbean spiders, you do not want to miss this.
