I was thinking of Heterapoda for the first as well, but no ideas on the second. Here is a list (probably incomplete) of the species supposedly found in China. I really need to update this list with the China Catalogue of Life 2010 list. Anyways, here goes: Bhutaniella scharffi Eusparassus...

I posted a thread in the Field Excusions section several weeks ago, but it appears no one found it. Rather than re-post the pictures here, please observe them there. They were quite impressive spiders. Thanks in advance. ;)

No worries. Glad that you enjoyed them. More to come.. ;)

Well, I am finally back in China. During a recent herping expedition in search of the king cobra (not found :S), my visiting American friend and I came accross some interesting huntsman spiders, a giant tree cricket, and a very cool little mantid. Does anyone know at least the genus of the...

You were right! This video is much more interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8OL-CQfX0s. They still use the same method to capture the spiders, though. The last specimen at the end is quite impressive.

No worries, and free to hijack my threads at any time if the result is stimulating discussion. I also feel like the way that man was capturing a rare species such as this was inappropriate, to say the least.. As usual, Snark, I am jealous of where you live. But this year, perhaps, I will be...

That's disappointing.. this is the only video I have seen of the species and it's THIS..??? Not even any close-ups or action shots. I thought the size of the spiders wasn't that impressive. I wonder if it was anywhere near maximum size or perhaps not even the correct species. I have seen...

No, it was just recently discovered and not many people have even observed these in the wild yet. There are other huntsmans on the market that are available, do a search and you should be able to find a lot of information.

Hopefully this hasn't been posted before, but I haven't had much time to follow all of the threads this past year. If not, enjoy! http://www.wat.tv/video/heteropoda-maxima-1azrc_2hw17_.html

Honestly, I'll probably never make it down there, as I'm heading back to China soon and having our first child (well, my wife..). I'd probably get to Vietnam and Laos sooner. Hell, China has Hainan island and Yunnan province (the most northern point to find tropical rainforest) and I've only...

Though our government doesn't seem to want a relationship with Suriname, even when they voted to be part of the NTU (Dutch Language Union) and our territories in the Carribean are only so in name. :wall: France seems to do it better. I suppose we never really wanted to colonise as much as trade...

NICE.. I have always wanted to go to Suriname, as it's a former Dutch colony (and I'm Dutch). The Guianas, so to speak, all seem like pristine countries (Guyana not so sure, but maps of deforestation always show them as well-off).

I was still finding scorpions at the end of September in the North. You are going to have a great trip. Enjoy. ;)

I agree that these are beautiful shots and I envy your trip! I have done <edit> all this year! Hence, my lack of posting. What I cannot fathom is how you got those amazing solifugid species to sit still. :eek:

Ja, bedankt. De vorige keer was het echt fantastisch daar, dus ik ga gewoon verder met mijn leven in de rimboe. {D Helaas zijn de Mesobuthussoorten in China helemal in het noorden, waar ik nooit hoop te komen. Ik heb wat informatie gevonden uit Hainan, dus ik kijk eerst die richting op. Verder...

I wonder if it's the cold, as entering China from Laos and Vietnam the climate changes from hot tropical to subtropical, and the elevations are higher as well. Extreme southern Yunnan and Hainan are hot tropical as well, but Yunnan is isolated in deep valleys and Hainan is an island. That's too...

I'm planning to move back to China this year and was wondering if any of you could tell me if there are Amblypigi species found in China. If there are, I would assume that they be in the far south of Yunnan or south-west Guangxi (my province). Also, I can't seem to find any information on...

There is a reason that the Mediterranean is a biodiversity hotspot. Love the Macrothele calpeiana! Lucky find, as they are rare, I heard.

Thank you for sharing, mate! I lived near Vietnam in China and it looked quite similar. That Nephila sp. looks massive. I need to move back ASAP. This place is killing my soul.. =S Of the countries you visited which would you stay to live in, if you could? I recommend that you also visit Yunnan...

哇，好大！我想回中国！在哪里找到的？有多大？
