Advan's pic thread

[advan]

Sheesh, I missed this one the first time around, luckily found it on Google Images for Orphnaecus sp. 'blue' . Very cool shot ... reminds me of the human clone room in The Island

MUST get a couple this time around!

Thanks Michael! I'll be bringing a bunch to Jeni's next month so you'll have a chance to bring some home.

Congrats on the sacs, and great pics as always. I'm curious about the Avicularia sp. 'Peru', I don't think I've seen that before. I assume its not "Peru Purple/urticans. It doesn't look like it at least, but I'm not up on my Avic's.

later, Tom

Thanks Tom! A bunch of these were imported as WC's 2011-12 and bred. They are possibly A. ancylochira but I'm hesitant to label them as such. What is different about these are the sexually dimorphic adult males, see this thread >>> http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?221975-What-Avicularia-is-this&highlight=Avicularia

Congrats on the sacs again, Chad!

Thanks Jan!

Wonder if we'll ever get that Avicularia revision by Fukushima. Oh well, that won't stop people from labeling the imports whatever the BLEEP they want, selling them as such and introducing more confusion to an already chaotic genus, where there are only few certain and recognizable species. (and one of those might be even taken out of the genus, if the revision ever comes through - I'm curious what genus will my versicolor end up in)

Her doctoral thesis is available for free. However her entire thesis is in Spanish. She and her mentor propose 4 new genera in that thesis. I could not determine the changes. I haven't been able to track down any published papers from her work yet.

I've read that post before. Where in the post does it mention sexual dimorphism? I must be missing something??

It was purposed to be released in June 2013 but missed the deadline. It's a lot of work to tackle, so it's not surprising it has been pushed back.

It is discussed in the thread, if you are having trouble using your eyeballs to see it in the pictures of the male and female.

I've seen the teaser English too..just that a big fat tease.

I HAVE NOT seen the RFUK posting. THANKS. Hmm..so based on what I read there, what will happen metallica, geroldi, and all hte others mentioned?? Will they just be locality differences of Avic avic?? Or given new names..I wonder.

I saw the pictures and discounted them as one was a fresh molt, and the other gender was in need of a molt.

I'm all too familiar with thesis work, and primary peer-reviewed literature timelines.

I must need my eyes checked, I don't see it either? I only see pictures of a Female and a Mature Male? I see where Jaimie states the "Mature male looked like above spider before hooking out" referring to the female pictured above. So I'm also a bit confused?

Fantastic I. mira shots! Keeping fingers crossed for many more CB blue footed babies in the hobby.

Love how you can see all the little details on the small instars that are are lost once they get larger.

An incredible set here Chad! I'm jealous of the last three, so beautiful.

 

[Storm76]

Insanely detailed shots again, Chad. Keeping fingers crossed for a viable I. mira sac!

 

[viper69]

Advan, on your I mira there, is the blue that bright naturally, or was that due to a flash? I've seen such variation on the blue intensity, and unsure how much is due to people's camera/computer and the actually T itself.

Depends on what you mean by 'naturally'. Do you consider under normal room lighting conditions 'natural'? Flash helps reflect the color as a flashlight or direct sun would.
