Fast and defensive, much better looking in person too.

Schmidt considers these a sub-species of Lampropelma nigerrimum (Sangihe) ‍
....
"Lampropelma nigerrimum arboricola" (Borneo)

The Borneo's get bigger and are slightly different in appearance at adult stage. Immatures are much easier to tell apart (the females, at least).

@CEC Thanks for the info Chase, I have two specimens of each variant atm, and I am already noticing some differences. Looking forward to comparing them as adults.
