Have you telling them about me? I guess so then...
Such a beautiful spider, I'm gonna have to get myself (a similar ) one one of these days...
I'm excited to see what the others look like!
@MrGhostMantis you didn't ask for an in depth analysis on these in my primitive spider picture thread lol.
@Arthroverts sp. Tambourine "Black" has also molted as of yesterday, so in a short while she should resurface too. I'm just waiting for sp. Mallee to finish up now
That's interested that two of your Namea molted so close together. I think I remember @Dave1969 also mentioning all of his molting at the same time recently as well. Do they have seasonal molts, do you know?
@Arthroverts my only guess is that they are molting in time for breeding season, which started a little while ago. Males of all species should be starting to wander for females shortly
@Arthroverts I do try, I have an ad on Gumtree letting people know I'm after certain males, but I can only convince so many people to help me out.
With the assistance of a very helpful private property owner last year, I got some pretty interesting data that shows various species occupying the same areas seem to take turns maturing and wandering. Like, every week or 2 there was an influx of a different species of male (Nemesiidae matured first, then it was Atracids, then Idiopids, then Actinopodidae and finishing with Diplurids very late into the following year). Nemesiidae appear for a notably longer time period than the other groups and the males also live the longest, comparable to some T's.
