I found this Cupiennius in a very large bromeliad in Panama in June 2005. She had webbed herself in, i removed the silk covering the entrance and out she came rearing up, egg-sack in tow.

The best Guess I could throw in there Is Ctenidae, I can't Identify genus from that photo, Maybe someone else can Id by colouration?
A quick search yielded this image, the spiders colouration of orange top and light underside seems to match yours.Last edited by Chris Wheeler (Gigus); 29-05-07, 11:28 PM.

I guess you were talking about this one? http://www.americanarachnology.org/H...yc_ctenid.html
I thought they looked very similar, but the one in the above link is from cooler montane regions of costa rica while the one i found was around coastal lowland.
It's not in M.Jacobi's informative article about Ctenids either. So what could it be? There's a melted snickers which i've had in my back pocket for lunch for the person with the correct answer!

not included in the article you say...
I don´t think so. I covered both large and colorfull species of that genus that are both around in European captive care.
With the spider you found and pictured here it´s most likely C. getazi as Chris already mentioned.
Note leg coloration and leg undersides...
Not to mention that there´s at least one more species of Cupiennius around that´s not even listed in PLATNICK to be around there...
Greetings,
Stefan
