Hey Kyle,

Very spiffy!! I'm breeding a few species this year, I wasn't sure whether or not to breed that species, I won't bother now, I can do some of the other guys I've got here, we could trade later on??

Here is the video of tonights breeding ( the day after the last post), Selenotypus plumipes. This one was a bigger success with a larger female, he is getting more confidence by the day :) Oh yeah, she drums back to him, he drums back harder then Ginger Baker. These guys really perform for the camera hey...
It goes for 1.33 minutes, is 4.47MB and is in WMV format....

Hi,
Yeah, but feeding is boring compared to breeding :) Here is a video that runs for about one and a half minutes, is in WMV format and is about 4.91 MB.

Coremiocnemis tropix, the new Australian species breeding:

Found in central Qld region. The vegetation is mainly Acacia scrubland, semi arid region.

The other spider is yours, isn't it??

Nope, none of those are my pics, the above two were posted by me with permission I might add, don't know about the lower two....anyway, it looks like a central Qld Selenotypus sp. of some sort, there are many types/forms and I couldn't say which based on the pics alone.

Oh i see, my bad.

Steve, i would really like to have a good ideia of which sp. mine is. What kind of fotos could i get you (like what parts of the body) for you to make an educated guess on its species ?? Would it be possible for you to pos pictures of the setups u use for the species you have that are like mine or very similar ??

Thank's man.
