Got a few pics of this stunner today. Really difficult as she's extremely quick and shy.

Gorgeous spider! I love about the way the colours change on their legs. Definitely one I hope to have in my collection one day.

I've been massively surprised by her. Came as a tiny sling July last year and less than 11 months later is an adult female (she laid sac). She's also a lot smaller than I expected. 4.5 - 5cm leg span. Absolutely stunning spiders though. And amazing hunters.

You were lucky you got a female! I should imagine you wouldn't have a hard time selling those babies

As I suspected last week my Liphistius yangae was indeed in premoult. The moult was kicked out today. Not easy to make out so I've highlighted the carapace.

Little clip I made for insta. Volume up.

Looks like it had some plastic surgery on its butt

Reminds of the Queen Xenomorph in Aliens for some reason.
