I must say it's really nice to see digital photos of the species defining characters in that "paper" and you can't go wrong with lots of scanning electron micrographs!

Is there anyone else besides Dr. Raven that has used a digital camera in a theraphosid description paper? Thanks for sharing that with us all Steve!

Hi Lonnie,
Not to the same extent Raven has gone to

Here is a video (3.46mb/WMV) of a failed attempt at breeding them today, sorry for the quality, it was dark
