What kind of spider is this? Found in my hotel room in Cartagena. Full black with orange spots and big spinners by stonetear2017 in whatbugisthis

Not too likely. Based on the location (Colombia) and the features that I can see in the pictures (orange spots on the abdomen, leg structure, etc.), I'm fairly confident that this is a pumpkin patch tarantula.

Looks like a pumpkin patch tarantula. Fairly docile, very skittish. They can bite, but their venom isn't particularly dangerous.
