Picked up this beauty today for free!
Super excited but definitely desperate for a a rehouse. Any insight on ID is very appreciated. Original owner states it’s a Goliath bird eater of some sorts.
Something like that I think. Phormictopus is a bit of a mess as a genus. I would have said Phormictopus sp. Full green but she has a slight blue tint and maybe some reddish hairs on her abdomen that make me think otherwise. Anyways, what a freebie! I'm certainly jealous.

In understanding between Phormictopus sp. "green femur/gold carapace" and P. "full green" is that the "full green" does NOT have a gold carapace, but has a more greenish-black carapace hence the "full green" name. I've noticed sellers this past few years merging these species and selling under the P. "green" name which then we lose the distinction between the two. In my opinion, she should be labeled as separate species and only breed if the same until clarification comes from taxonomists in the near future.
