MF Lasiodora klugi

Wanda decided to pretend to be an arboreal for a bit this evening.

Edit 05/21/2017: The seller insists strenuously that she's a klugi, not difficilis, so I'll switch it back...
definitly a different form of L. klugi than the black and red one, but its hard to know which is which since the original descriptions are so vague
we do however have an old depiction of a red and black L. klugi so this is either a different locality of it, if localities overlap, perhaps even L. difficilis (now L. benedeni)

the problem is that we'd need to hear from someone who has seen them in the wild, in the known locations, to know for sure since it isn't conclusive even in the revamped paper on the genus, if this is L. klugi then waht species is the one we have commonly now?

i'd certainly like to know which spiders have been used for the latest dna analysis of the genus....

however i have seen germans sell a silvery L. klugi as well, despite the general consensus there about the other type beeing the real one, i really need to reach out and hopefully get ahold of someone who can give me some context for that...

if you have some knowlege by now, i'd love to discuss
