Nhandu tripepii 1.0 or 0.1?

So, these might look like female stuff, but he/she is quite leggy. Male or female?

Nhandu tripepii, 1.5" / 4cm DLS. Approx. 120x magnification.
What a fantastic evening of microscopy! I like her, since she's such a voracious eater, and already now a display spider.
Nhandu in general are underrated. They're great looking, get pretty big, grow fast, eat like pigs, and are almost always out where you can see them. The only real con is that they're a little skittish and flicky, but I can live with that for all the pros!

I fully agree with what you write!

Incidentally, I have a confirmed female Nhandu Chromatus coming in sometime during May... They are great spiders - getting My two A.geniculatas and the N.tripepii really made my "collection" much more lively, that's for certain! Only spider which can compete in terms of voracity is my male T.Vagans!
