Hi Charliemum, Looks like it's going to be Callobius bennetti or (Bennet's Laceweaver). Thanks for the reply. Cheers! Pb

Happy spring everyone! I'm hoping can help me ID this spider. Collected 5 specimens in the Mission mountains in NW Montana. I have a feeling it's a mygalomorph but can't find any info on Montana mygals.. Possibly two different species photographed. Not sure. Thanks for looking! Pb

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to share some P. borealis pics. They are Glacier Rim locality. Enjoy! Pb

Hi Chanda, yes! Absolutely check ut out! urge anyone that keeps amblypygi, that also feel safe and handling them attempt this method. This is just my observation but I think it, (pardon the pun) shines a little light on the reproductive biology of these little creatures. My next goal is to...

Here's an example of what I would consider a sub-adult specimen. This is noted by the red pedipalps and she is approximately half the size of the larger adults. Again when candled ova are visible.

Hey everyone, I woke up and inspected my animals this morning and the Paraphrynus eggs hatched, I have offspring! March 20th-June 14th from visible eggs til hatch. I have 2 more gravid females and should have offspring from #2 within the next month. Next week I will ship a preserved specimen to...
