Philth's non-theraphosid mygalomorph and true spider photo thread.

[jigalojey]

I find mouse spiders to be very interesting and somewhat strange looking spiders.

Yep they're bulldogs of the spider world, there is one guy on the Aus forum who gets hundreds in his yard during wet season and comes on the board and gives them away as freebies haha.

I love the fangs on Sphodros rufipes.

Latrodectus tredecimguttatus (Croatia)


Cupiennius getazi


Cuppienius coccineus ventral


This is a old pic, but I don't think I ever posted it here and it does involve a true spider. A few months back a mature male Holothele incei "gold" got loose in my spider room. I tend to let the house spiders live free in the corners of this room to help control with crickets that I drop. About a week after I lost the male I found him tangled up in this Parasteatoda tepidariorum web. Very impressed with his catch.

Are Cupiennius closely related to Dolomedes? I am only asking because they molt the same way.

 

[Hanska]

They are in the same superfamily Lycosoidea. So closish but not very close.

Love the Cupiennius getazi molting pics. You can really see how much it has grown...

 

[Biollantefan54]

Yeah, I figured they were like somewhat related lol. Thanks!

 

[Hanska]

Yeah, I figured they were like somewhat related lol. Thanks!

There is much similarities that even overlap within that superfamily. Like Ancylometes which, although is a wandering spider, acts like a fishing spider and some Dolomedes that act more like wandering spiders than fishing spiders.

 

[Biollantefan54]

D. tenebrosus acts a lot like wondering spiders, they can be found far from water hunting for prey.

That's the one I was referring to. Didn't remember the species.

 

[Biollantefan54]

Haha, awesome! Yeah, I found a D. tenebrosus between some boards in my backyard, I was a little shocked to find it that far from water lol.

I figured someone would ask that lol. I had 2, but they didn't last long sucks because they were a lot of $$$.
