C. Bechuanicus
C. Marshalli
C. Darlingi

What are some of the factors that seperate these 3? I have been looking at some pictures, and from them I cant see at lot of difference. Having never seen any of them in person im sure this makes things a little less obvious.
Does one web more then other, adult size differences?

Thnx

Darlingi has a very conical,pyramyd horn ,bechuanicus has same the conical horn but more round.Marshalli has very straight horn(90 degree angle)

 

[Sharpy808]

thnx, that helps. Relatively all around the same size as adults? (The T, not the horn)

 

[mitchell123]

Bechuanicus and darlingi are almost impossible too separate..the have same red hair and identical body drawings. The are probably (different localities) I don't now how too describe this in english properly. .

Correct me if i'm wrong...

Ty again, im gonna look for a Marshalli in the next few weeks.

I have read that even thou they are burrowers u can kep them on a semi-shallow subsrate to promote them to make web tubes to live in. Is this an ok approach?
