Phlogius sp. "Black Presley"

Subadult female in her danger hole
Awesome red coloration on the setae, especially for an Aussie species. Did she moult recently or is that colouration pretty consistently present?
 
@AusBugKid It's been a solid six months since her last molt. I thought that she might be due for another one soon, but she's currently munching on a roach. So yeah, this is what subadults sport. I expect her black to come in on the next molt.
 
She's a stunner! She webs alot like P.Strennus and Rubiseta. How m of these are still around outside Aus?
