Novak Pictures

[P. Novak]

Try using the flash, might eliminate that
Otherwise very nice pix!
Good luck with the genic molt!

Thanks Sietse. I hope she pulls through and actually is a she when she finishes. I say this because my "female" L.parahybana turned male on me.

I choose natural sunlight over flash, but even if I do use flash I use macro on some pics, so it comes out with one darker half and the other lighter from the flash. I need a ring flash, I believe thats what they're called.

Ring flash would be ideal, but normal flash works too. At least for me it does!
When a picture comes out dark on one side, i take a little more distance, and zoom in a little bit. works for me
I'll keep my fingers crossed for the genic

Haha flash never works for me! Thanks for the tips though! Ok, she molted out fine, and not into a mature male, but I can't see any spermathecae or flap. :? I'll get a picture once it dries up a bit.

Acanthoscurria geniculata molting process, was 13cm before molt.

This is very interesting and I've seen this before here somewhere, but forget exactly what it is. I'd turn down the volume, because all you hear is a LOUD vaccume in the next room. Just look for the "beating" on the abdomen.

Thanks Steph! I hope someone drops by and explains what exactly that is! I'll get pics up of the B.emilia mating soon.

Very nice series of photos man! :worship:

but I can't see any spermathecae or flap. :?

After looking at the molt pictures more closely I'm thinking it is indeed a (immature) male. The epandrious fusilae (sp?) are quite visible. Sorry bro, but his next molt may well be his last...

Dang it I hope not, this would be the second "female" into male from the same person.
