Avicularia bicegoi is a species of large tarantulas of the genus Avicularia. These spiders may be frightening in appearance due to their large size (body length in excess of 2 inches i.e. 5 cm.) but they share the pacific behavioral traits of most of the Avicularia species. In general they bite prey and rely on their urticating hair and flight for defense from predators. Unlike many new world tarantulas spiders in the genus Avicularia do not flick their urticating hair.
