Trust me...it IS enhancedSubZero said:My friend send me this pix and said it is not enhanced in any way, any expert out there can verify, if it not, that sure is one hell of a spider
Don't Haplopelma have very faint tiger markings on the rump? I had an adult 'Haplopelma Minax' (very probable that it was misidentified) and that had very faint marks on its rump, although if you shone a light on it (like in the photo above), I'm sure they'd be more visible.JakeRocks said:Also...it's not a Haplopelma of any kind...looks like an aboreal. You can see a tiger-like pattern on the abdomen as well. Anyone have any clue as to what this is?
Later,
Jake

OK, Leon, do tell, because that is most likely a Cyriopagopus sp.Lopez said:This picture is slightly enhanced, but not much.
It is not a Haplopelma. I've seen other photographs of this species.....they are beautiful.
That's the one (from what I can tell) - ah of course, you were at the lecturesTescos said:Is this not the Cyriopagopus sp. that was found in Singapore? I may be wrong but I belive that if it is then one specimen was found but died soon after a moult :8o
Kugellager said:this is the reason P.metallica does not look as brightly colored in person as they do in all the photographs we drool over.
I wonderd where I had seen that before :? Although saying that I have been sent a better pic of that spider where the colours look alot more naturalLopez said:That's the one (from what I can tell) - ah of course, you were at the lectures
VolkervonWirth said:Hi all,
I've examined two exuviae from the bluish Specimen which is shown on the picture above and I can tell that it is really blue
Volker, could you post a pix of the molt? My friend is sending me another photo later, I will post when I get it.
If it is really that blue do you guys see it as the next big thing?
