Equitius sp. Coramba

A small predatory species in Triaenonychidae, covered in intimidating spines across the body and pedipalps. This genus can often be found in small huddled groups in the wild and are highly tolerant of each other in captivity.
I'd imagine there must be a decent number of native species there, perhaps you could start some of the first captive bloodlines there?
Perhaps, if I can find them (the native Korean Laniatores, AFAIK, are all cave specialists, and most caves here are restricted-access). More interested in the native pursewebs TBH, though if it turns out we have native predaceous harvestmen that are actually accessible that would also be awesome.

These are the only predaceous harvestmen in Korea that I know of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaolinonychus

I will do some investigating and see if I can find out any more species that may be more accessible. If they are in caves, they are all.lat certainly in the open environments between them

Thanks, but I think I might have made a breakthrough there. There's one biologist who studies these animals in-depth, and his papers do mention that one species can be split into cave-dwelling and surface-dwelling populations.

Though it seems like all other predaceous harvestmen in this genus are cave specialists.
