Acanthoscurria cordubensis is a species of terrestrial tarantula that thrives in high humidity environments.[2] It is also known as the Rusty Brown Bird Eater due to its medium brown color.[3] The previous scientific name for this species was Acanthoscurria suina and it is native to Argentina.[4] Male specimens of this species can live about 4 years, but the females can get to 20 years old and can reach a size of about 7.5 inches, though this size estimate is based on a low sample size.[5]
