Blatantly not P. borealis, if that consensus hasn't been reached yet. I'd say this is most likely to be a Platycryptus, though a better photo would still be welcomed.
They shouldn't be kept together as salticids are highly cannibalistic. Otherwise setups look good, keep in mind that jumpers need a good amount of ventilation and don't need humidity.
Hi! I'll be heading to the preserve in a couple days, and I'm hoping to see some CA native spiders. Are there any locations or habitat types that'll be especially good to search?
When I was searching for information regarding N. sp. Suriname, I came across this blog post: http://spiderbytes.org/2015/06/29/a-tiny-tarantula/
The specimen in the images is a dead ringer for N. sp. Suriname, and it is stated that Stuart Longhorn believed it to be a member of the genus...
Title. Personally, I'm a fan of Habronattus. The variation between species is incredible, their courtships are impressive, and they're fascinating scientifically.
Heading to California this coming spring, would like to collect some P. octopunctatus while I'm there. Any advice pertaining to this species would be appreciated, i.e. collection techniques/locales with large populations/preferred habitats.
