Gobey's mature male Paraphysa parvula arrived this morning in great condition. I put him in an enclosure to acclimate a bit before pairing to let him settle down from his journey. Well this dude spent the day wandering and drumming, drumming and wandering like he knew she was just a couple feet away. The way he was going at it, I decided to pair them tonight. I have to say this was one of the coolest pairings I've seen so far. He drummed and danced beautifully for her. Once he had her in his clutches, held her for over 15 minutes first inserting one pedipalp, then inserting the other. My camera ran out of film at about 8 minutes and I can only do 5 minute vids on the YouTube, so here is the first 5 minutes of mine and Gobey's Chilean Goldburst Tarantulas doin some "Brown chicken, Brown cow" :}
