Hadronyche formidabilis/ Northern Tree Funnel-Web

[Steve Nunn]

Hi,
Adult female on her way to me, image owned by aquilla from the ATA froum She is premoult, although adult female H.formidabilis are a little brownish anyway These are one awesome (but a little nasty) mygale, I've seen a female with a bodylength bigger then most theraphosids (over 60mm, in the QMB collection). There is an image of a postmoult female in Sören Rafn's book, "Fugleederkopper".

Cheers,
Steve
