What Species of spider do you think is fearless and why?

[Nioctin]

My lycosidae are fearless Compared to My T’s, They’re always out and about and never even budging when I move their enclosure or decide to put water in their bowls but yet will dash across the enclosure for a cricket, my T’s are the complete opposite. For example I never see my Avicularia avicularia or all I see is toe beans unless it’s early morning when I wake up It’s perched on the side of my enclosure close to the ground assuming lurking for prey or when I’ve been away for awhile, any moment she’s gone. Don’t see any takedowns usually just kind of throw the cricket in there and it disappears the next day.

The pictures are of two of my wolfs.

Definitely Anamids. If something moves near their entrance, they immediately come outside to investigate even if it's broad daylight, and will usually try to test bite it.

I don't regularly keep them but jumpers are pretty unfazed by their surroundings. If you put your hand in front of them they'll size it up and usually jump on. P. audax are almost impossible to resist. I try to give them a ride when i bump into them.

Are we talking any araneid? Most of us haven't come across the vast majority of wild species or even captive. But if we are doing a personal vote, mine goes to Solifugae. I'm not sure if it is because they are so dumb or they actually are fearless. Aggressive? No. Fearless dummies? Yes.

Where is this species located and can it be acquired in the U.S? still really new to the hobby.
almost looks like a funnel web of some kind, Cool looking Hughes and tones in the colors. what are Anamids? Gonna look this up, What are the names of the ones you’ve shown me here?

can’t get stuff out of Australia because of the laws and such right? that’s a letdown there’s a lot of cool stuff out there.

It’s hard to say I’m not sure if I’d say spiders even feel fear, wolf spiders are probably more bold than your T’s since they actually can see prey and potential threats and can possibly size it up better or just have a better chance. I’d have to say camel spiders seem to be the bravest to me

Kind of a silly question, as personality even within the same species varies greatly. At least with Tarantulas though I assume that to be true with other spiders, too.

As for Ts though? Laugh all you want, but my vote goes to Homoeomma chilensis and species closely related. Those little guys are just...curious in lack for a better term. They usually don't hide, come out once you open the enclosure and I've yet to hear of one that doesn't continue exploring if you offer your hand to prevent them falling off their enclosures while trying to climb out. Most other species of tarantula will, perhaps not at first, either hide, or run away. Or won't even show up when the room's brightly lit. Of course, that is biased on my personal experiences.

Aname and the family Anamidae are (AFAIK) exclusive to Australia, so unfortunately you wouldn't be able to acquire these. However, there are other other wishbone species you should be able to buy there..

They are known as wishbone spiders, a common name for a group mildly venomous "trapdoors" (despite them not making lids). The name comes from the "Y" shaped burrows they sometimes make. Shown above are Aname sp. red and "black steel"

Homoeomma chilensis looks neat! The curious behavior sounds intriguing.

I love my twin girls. Different behavior - except when the cage is open. Then is "explorer mode...engaged. Detecting light airflow...further investigation needed. Engaging pneumatic pumps...legs...moving."
