Mygale of La Soufrière (The)

Holothele sulfurensis

In Guadeloupe, the area of the national park located at Basse Terre is the habitat of more than 150 species of spiders, many of them little known. After a presentation of some of these spiders, a recently discovered species, the La Soufrière mygale (Holothele sulfurensis) is observed closely, using various techniques such as "macrocinema" and slow-motion or speeded-up film.
