Kukulcania hibernalis... now we're talking about a very cool spider. I have tons of them.

Very nice pics!

I love kuks. That's the first spider that I ever collected and kept. A couple of years ago my last one died when my little boy dropped her container and she busted open. She was huge. I'd had her for 6 years and she was at least a couple of years old when I found her. Those spiders can live for more than ten years. I'd also enjoyed feeding the mother kukulkania with babies and watching the babies come running to mama when it was feeding time. Really cool.

Your female Phid is gorgeous. Could you post another pic to show the dorsal side. From this angle it appears to be a female Phidippus mystaceus, but it's not a great angle for an i.d.

I loved my female even when she gave me the surprise sac and I'm glad that I kept the slings. Had to let them cannibalize for a bit to get the numbers down, but I'll be giving everyone their own home this weekend. Definitely a pretty spider and their silk is crazy strong.

If the Phid sits still long enough for the pic, you got it

So she ended up being good and I got several nice pics!

Wow, she's a beauty. Definitely P. mystaceus. She looks like she's ready for a nice fat cricket.

Haha, yeah, she definitely knew what that cricket was for. LOL

One of my true spiders gobbling up a cricket this morning. (I wouldn't have linked it if I had been able to figure out how to get an Arachnoboards-acceptable code from Flikr for the video.) :/ Oh yeah, and please excuse the filthy container. I can't clean it up without destroying her web.
