My huntsman barely ever eats so its pretty insane to get a pic that good of her mauling a cricket. Came out good though, still doesnt compare to the purple one though:drool:

Hi Nick,
it's the cross between Nepenthes alata and Nepenthes ventricosa -> N. ventrata. Pitcher plants are really good looking carnivourous plants sadly the most beautiful are highland species, wich require cool nights.

Here is a huntsman I found in my bathroom. Not sure on ID but it is in Pasco County, Florida.

Thanks for the ID. I see them out more around the summer so hopefully I can catch a couple although they are extremely fast little buggers = P

Awesome photos, guys! Great topic!

May I ask, what is the average body length of an adult female and male H. boiei? I've checked several sources but I've found different sizes..
