yep. it's a geo. pic taken at a bad angle, spider not as compact as it appears in the photo. it has a big ole' dome of a head (carapace). i guess i did have another pic on aboards... http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=188777 the spider is so dark it's still a bad pic lol

hä,hä you exactly captured my mind. reason for my question was that the carapace-line was looking to flat on the other pic. but in the second link it's a little bit better to see that it's clearly elevated - and that the ventral patella (whats plural ? patelli ? damn i will say knees LOL) are light like it's typical in the genus. dark (black) ventral knees are typical for example in the genus lycosa and i think in hogna the same. this is a good possibility to distinguish them from geolycosa (together with carapace-line, eyes,...).

@ huntsman : yes, wolfspiders ! and man i really turn crazy next time because a lot of peoples here on arachnoboards live in countries where they have the nicest and biggest wolfies just around there houses
I WANT THIS THE SAME :wall::wall::wall:

why reglementation in the states and in australia ia as hard as it is ? nearly impossible to send some nice spiders over the sea...

...but i simply didn't understood if you wanted something to know or if it's just a way of speaking you did ?!

i'm not good in colloquial speech

bye, oli

Lol no, its just a saying. I was just commenting on how amazing it looks for that small male to be grappling with the large female like that. Kind of a "David and Goliath" type of thing. Great pics
