New World 9 species Davus — commonly said as DAY-vus
Illustration © Mingo Xie / The Silk Ranch Davus pentaloris

Central American dwarfs with tiger-striped legs, and a webbing habit that outpaces animals three times their size. D. pentaloris is the one most people keep.

They are terrestrial but they will build silk tunnels through everything you put in the enclosure and then live in them. Growth is moderate, adult size is around three inches, and temperament sits in a useful middle ground: not docile, not a nightmare, just fast enough to keep you honest during rehousing.

Guatemalan and Costa Rican stock has been in continuous captive production for years. The genus keeps absorbing species that used to sit in Cyclosternum, so there is the usual lag where the same spider trades under two labels.
