Very nice Steve!Do you have any photos of the sp."Black" you could share?
I think I've only seen a photo of an adult female once before.

Is it just me, or do many terrestrial Ts from AU look so much like arboreals?

Hi,
The Phlogius do, but it's artificial. Many Phlogius spp. possess strong anterior metatarsal scopulation, but if you look at their closest relatives, there is no evidence to support a recent ancestor that was arboreal and none are noted within the genus to date.

Nice Chris, my female sp. "PQ113" has a sac now as well. Perhaps we can swap some s'lings if they hatch, so I can replace some of the crassipes slings I fried last summer. :wall:

Later, Tom
