0.1 Phormingochilus sp. Akcaya

The contrasting colors of rich, chocolate-brown with hints of purple and golden yellow on this species are gorgeous. She doesn't like me looking in her hole, though!😆
This species is such a criminally underrated spider. You need to see if you can get a pic of her from the front at a bit of an angle ;). These guys look soooo different depending on the way you view them

This is the same female.

They also have this metallic sheen on their abdomens like Sabah Blue that cameras only pick up as a whitish blur.

Yep, you can see some of the whitish blur in my photo above, too. This was just a quick cell phone pic, I need to get some good pics of her with my camera. She's still very reclusive, though - not quite fully adult (as you know), so not confident enough to spend a lot of time out when I can see her. She's getting there, though!
