very beautiful spider, stefan ;)
i also have 4 c.c but i think there are all females, can anyone help me with the sex? or is it like the other cuppineus? male: longer legs, not so great colours and the whole body... in a sort of orange or dark orange. the female: bigger, more colourful. etc. and of course the taster. is this right?

Hello Michael,

unfortunately i had only one single specimen of this species. Got it as a micro-sling and raised it till it got adult. So i´ve never seen any young-females of this species. Nevertheless i think they shouldn´t be too hard to sex. Would help if you could post some pics of your coccineus specimen, while i don´t think much about id íng of spiders by picture, i still think a guess of the sex might be possible...

Greetings,

Stefan

Hello!
ok, i will take some fotos, but i think i need a better camera with marco zoom ´;) my c.c are about 1cm bodylength. so my old digi cam is to bad to shot good and detialid pictures.
i also think to say what sex they have, because of an pix is not realy good ;) but by cuppieneus it is possbile, because they often have different colours etc. do you now anybody else who has some rare cuppieneus? not the 3 comom spiders.
