what about this one? i found it in sort of a funnel shaped web.
you read my mind! still, i am afraid this guy may be too big for them.carpe scorpio said:If they are that easily found, you could always introduce some of them to C. vittatus.
To care for it you will need something with alot of floorspace. Put some substrate in and add several sticks,rocks etc for it to build the large sheet like web it will make. They can be interesting to watch. I feed the ones here in the yard grasshoppers and other small insects for entertainment. (I guess this shows I don't have much of a life )pandinus said:depends, how do i care for it (IE setup)
i may not, just because there are so many around here. but what i really want is to catch a widow.
You're correct Brian! I had one a while back and kept it for a while. There are tons of them here where Im at, but they are interesting to watch. The web is NOT a funnel! LOL! You're right, its like a sheet and I fed mine pinheads. Soon as the lil crix touched that sheet, the spider was on it like a fat kid on cake.Brian S said:It is a Funnel Web Weaver (Agelenopsis sp). There are are several in my yard. Are you planning on keeping it?
They get the name. Through their 'hole' that they hide in.. IE a funnel.. The funnel then turns out into the sheet they use to capture the prey..sansoucie said:You're correct Brian!
