  • St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

    Here are some pictures from a trip to St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands National Park in January 2007.

    Cyrtopholis burrow (Likely C. bartholomaei or C. flavostriata)


    A young Cyrtopholis sp.


    The times I was successful in getting the adult Cyrtopholis out of their burrows I did not have my camera with me.

    Female Holothele shoemakeri


    Adult male Holothele shoemakeri


    This photo shows a log being lifted up. There were at least 12 Holothele living in this area. ~4 adult females, 7 good sized subadults, and 1 fresh ultimate male.


    This next picture may not seem that great, but it's interesting for a few reasons. Exactly where I was standing when I took the following photo, I was standing beside a Cyrtopholis burrow, and observing a small group of Holothele at the same time. All the while only being a few meters from the ocean and on a totally secluded very small island! (Whistling Cay). This tiny secluded island was a 15 minute kayak trip from St. John.


    I wanted to keep the pictures shown here strictly theraphosid related, but you can see other pictures from this trip HERE
