Damarchus sp. (Nemesiidae)

[Draiman]

A very interesting funnelweb-esque mygalomorph species from the family Nemesiidae. These are not too big, about 2 inches total length, but nonetheless are insanely defensive! Good thing their venom is about as potent as water

Here is an adult female:

Neat! Looks like something between Sprodos and trap doors.

 

[cacoseraph]

that is just beautiful!

i like the spiders that look like parts are made out of plastic


since it is Nem, it is not scopulate, correct? or at teh most, very lightly scopulate
