Since when does Australia allow invert export????? wow Dr Robert Raven must be seriously ****ssed off. I should call him and find out.

Phlogiellus aren't Australian.

Added to edit after further research: There are species that are found in Australia, however, Steve Nunn had permission to export a certain number of Australian species.

Yet his location is Australia. All trade in invertebrates is banned by Australia to my knowledge anyway, that is regardless of species origin. And there are Phlogiellus species found in Australia.

I edited my post to include that there are some found in Australia, and that Steve Nunn had permission to export them.

Actually Australia isnt exactly sure just what it does and does not have, Ive talked to Dr Raven and extensive classification work is still going on. It is a very big country with very few people. And many specimens have not even been looked at yet or have been incorrectly classified.

Here's the info about Steve Nunn's permission to export:

Here's the dealio:

Any invertebrates can be exported from Oz, but the exporter must prove second generation breeding capabilities to do so. The only inverts that aren't allowed to be exported are Atrax and Hadronyche spp. (funnel-webs) and Latrodectus spp. (redback/black widows). This is due to the fact that it's illegal to ship these dangerous spiders anywhere in Oz(can't get them to the airports!). Lelle (Crotalus) is quite right in saying there are insect exporters here in Australia. The majority of their business goes to Japan where insects are all the rage at the moment.

And to Wade, I've already done what's required to export, I just have to compile all needed records and submit them for approval by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)and AQUIS(Australian Quarrantine and Inspection Service). I'm the regional spider identification person in Central Qld, a task I do for the EPA, so it's gonna be a matter of AQUIS approval. It's not far away at all The first species I'll be exporting will be Selenocosmia crassipes. Here's a link from my website:

Cheers,
Steve

I believe that they don't know what they have but I don't want people to think that they were smuggled in/brown boxed, because they weren't.

Hello,
I can assure you that my exports out of Australia were ALL legal. Phone Rob Raven up, please, he knows I export and he knows it's legal too Because I took the time and went through the proper routes to export, Raven had no problems with it actually.

Hope this helps,
Steve Nunn
