Ice Cold Milk Picture Thread

Matt,

Sorry I've viewed this thread so many times without leaving a comment! Your photos are awesome! I really like the variety in the backgrounds. They are very inspiring to me.

Nice spiders you have there!.

Also very nice pics!

One thing, your Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi isn't a E. pulcherrimaklaasi in my opinion. I have these species too.

My pulcherrimaklaasi looks like this

Hello,
I thought that species you have pictured was known in the hobby as Homoeomma sp. "Paraguay"?
I read that it was incorrectly sold labled as E.pulcherrimaklaasi.

C. cyaneopubescens

Just got my new macro lens (Raynox 250) and an Olympus FL-36 flash, and this is the first specimen I've had time to photograph with my new toys... still working on how to use these things!!
Specimen is 3rd instar..about the size of a US nickel.

All using my new macro lens, Raynox 250 --
new female P. irminia (just mated before the shot),
C. fasciatum 1" spiderling, and a local scorpion to NE South Africa, Hottentotta trilineatus.

enjoy!

Don't you just love the Raynox? I know I do!
Nice shots Matt!

 

[Tunedbeat]

The Raynox is an excellent lens for the price.

Keep up the good work!

 

[biomarine2000]

Absolutely beautiful photography.

 

[WS6Lethal]

Those are great pics. Love the closeup of the foot!

 

[Ice Cold Milk]

Thanks for the comments, guys!!

Now, without the Raynox - this one's a bit on the large side for that!!
Harpactira sp. 'Northern Cape'.
Similar to H. atra, but no red/orange on the abdomen...instead, some very nice gold banding on the leg joints, overall denim-blue colored body. She was 10cm legspan.

That's a really neat looking T Matt. Never heard of that genus before. :?

the blue fangs are amazing...i know they are aggressive but i don't know how aggressive or how bad the venom is, also, how large do they become?

This genus is endemic to southern Africa. see www.baboonspiders.de for more information. It's currently under revision by Gallon.
A. Dippenaar-Schoeman, however, has an older publication with regional information on certain species.
http://www.survival-training.info/Library/Insects/Insects%20-%20Baboon%20and%20Trapdoor%20Spiders%20of%20Southern%20Africa%20-%20A.%20Schoeman.pdf

will you ship some to the us

Hehe...sorry - see the signature!!



Now on to more photos:
B. boehmei, sub-adult male. Loving my macro lens
Grammostola acteon (pet trade name possibly incorrect?), adult female.
and Coremiocnemis sp. 'Java'. This is the only name i was able to get out of
the person who I bought it from. It's possible the location information is wrong on this species. Yes...it has mites (likely WC specimen).
