what spider is that called?

 

[Jonathan]

Hello,
They are not spiders, but tailless whip scorpiones. They belong to the arachnid order Amblypygi.

Wich species is the second one?

 

[JesseD]

It's a rare tricolored species from the corner of my brain that makes really bad jokes. Those pictures are of one of the babies.

Hey Dude -

Great stuff, well done! :clap:

Do you keep the male in with her, or was he introduced, then removed?

Cheers!

 

[Dom]

Nice pics!
Very cool bugs.

I first got the pair in November 2005 and I kept them together all the time until I saw her abdomen get really big and saw the sac (attached and moulded to the bottom of the abdomen) start to expand like it was going have something pop out of it like a little alien from the Ridley Scott film. The female is now back with the male and hopefully it will all happen again next year. Now I just gotta keep some of the babies, but I guess it will be years before they breed. Well maybe a couple at least. ( I'm not too sure)

Nice! i love how the little ones are green!

 

[Steven Gielis]

Strange that the palps of the little ones are shaped completely different than the adult ones. I tought it was an other species because it looks really similar to asian species.

 

[Bungholio]

Amazing pics! Very interesting creatures.
