The Venezuelan Sun-Tiger Tarantula...
Not all that long ago, these were amongst the most sought after and expensive Ts. Initially, they were pricey since - being an aggressive, arboreal species - collectors often had to climb to a considerable height and risk a painful bite (and the subsequent dangerous fall) to catch 'em!
Today, they are seasonally available as more affordable, captive-bred 'lings. While still quick, I find that captive-produced P. irminia aren't quite as aggressive as their wild-caught counterparts (though I stay alert and keep my hands well clear when 'interfacing'...).
