Info from Licensor: "I am an eco-tour guide living in Peru, my specialty is poison frogs, tarantulas, reptiles and amphibians. My company's name is Muddyboots Peru. I was guiding a group that wanted to see Peruvian tarantulas. The spider in the video is a new genus. We had found several with babies, but this one was the easiest to get good footage. The voice, in the beginning, is of one of my clients and the finger is mine. The intention wasn't to harass the spider, just to get her to show herself a little better, but she ran off and I had to get her to go back into her home. The rock they were under was put back carefully and they continue to live on the top of the mountain at 4100 meters in elevation."
