Long lived true spiders.

[Richard McJimsey]

I have a female Tegenaria domestica collected in 2014. She was an adult when collected.

Is it one I sent a few years back?

I collected her. They can live up to 4 years (see McCook American Spiders and Their Spinningwork: Motherhood) You sent me some Teg gigantea (now Eratigena atrica) right? The adults lasted about a year and I raised a spiderling or two. Do you still collect giants and hobos?

Ah nice, I think I did sent you Eratigena now that I think about it. I collected a nice adult female the other day, and I'll continue looking for more as spring comes

Some of the huntsman spiders can live for about 3.5 years. I've had mine for 2 years now (she's a bit less active then she was)
