How do you ID G. sp. North from other Grammostolas? I'm just curious since I can't see any obvious differences
I've also seen other G. sp. North that look different than that. There has to be at least a few different species in that locality.Its more about localities.
There are differences but, until everything is written in stone its about preventing hybrids.

Some Grammo's have different morphological features as well that go into taxonomic classification in case you were not aware, which you may know.I guess their colouration is what separates them from other Grammostolas.
Locality. Color isn't a solid taxonomically identifying feature.How do you ID G. sp. North from other Grammostolas? I'm just curious since I can't see any obvious differences
Could be slightly different ranges/anothrr morph. Or drastically more likely, just the product of sp. "North"/porteri/rosea/ECT hybridizationI've also seen other G. sp. North that look different than that. There has to be at least a few different species in that locality.
I know that, but I'm mainly talking about bulk of the chelicerae, and the striping on various parts of the body.Locality. Color isn't a solid taxonomically identifying feature.
"Looks like mine" or "looks like this" aren't identifiable.
