Here are the pictures as promised, many thanks to Walton for providing the specimen.





@ Steven- Hey bro, any ideas on the id? The reason I suggested Heterpoda is because the PLE and ALE on this specimen are more pronounced then the median eyes. (Unfortunately this is also the only key I know, if you need more pictures of any specific areas just ask and I’ll try to take them when I have the time.)

Anyway, this is the list of Sparassids found in Singpapore:
Gnathopalystes kochi
Heteropoda venatoria
Olios cursor
Olios lutescens
Olios perezi
Seramba bifasciata
Stasina planithorax
Thelcticopis modesta


PS: Still no pedes yet, hopefully I’ll have more luck next week. How are your wolfies doing btw? :drool:

Cheers,
Damien.

@ Steven - Hahaha! Cheers for the compliments mate, you flatter me. :eek: It was your awesome pictures that got me addicted in the first place! :worship: :worship:

Btw, saw your pictures in this thread, Über pix as usual! You've really got me hooked on these little buggers, if the matings are successful and you are selling them; please sign me up for a few! ;)

Thanks for the help. I'll be going back to camp tomorrow so just pm or email me if you need anything and I’ll try and get back to you asap. Glad to hear that the wolfies are doing fine, please post more pictures of them as they get bigger! :drool:

The Army? Screwed up of course, what's new? A waste of time imho.

@ Walton - Hahaha, very well said. Don't worry about your pictures, it basically comes down to practice, technique and lighting. :)

No problem your welcome, cheers for the spider. Will talk to you tomorrow, very tired now.

Cheers.
