Lasiodora difficilis spermathecae?

[BrynWilliams]

Hi Guys

Just wanted to know if anyone has a photo or a link to a photo of L difficilis spermathecae?

I've found photos of parahybana and klugi to compare to my moult specimen, but want to compare mine to a difficilis as that's what it was sold as initially.

I'd appreciate any input on this,

Bryn

Since the above poster supplied a picture of the difficilis molt, here is L.klugi:

fantastic! thanks buddy

I was trying to ID a very large adult at my LSS, (they asked me to find out), as it looked very unusual as it was in heavy heavy premoult, so photo ID was difficult.

Having seen the specimen freshly moulted, it looked very much like a parahybana, but given access to the moult i thought i'd try rule out some of the other similar looking Lasiodoras (klugi, difficilis etc)

I think i can say with confidence know that with the appearance and the spermathecae that it's a parahybana. Thanks!

Just to add to the photo above,

Assuming this spider is the real L. difficilis as it was sold.
