white lady wandering spider

[mary walters]

Just an update on the white ladies, one unfortunately died a few weeks ago, but the other produced an egg sac and ate it, she produced another at the week-end and is carrying it about like a tarantula.

Sorry to hear about that Mary

Can you give us the latin name of this species? Or at least genus or family...some of us don't know all this english common names.

Hi Matjaz
I don't go in for 'common names' either, this is Leuchochestra Alexandrina, but a lot of folks wouldn't recognise that either.

RIP SPIDER
My second Leuchochestris Alexandrina has died I'm afraid.

ahh, that's a shame, sorry to hear about it.

When I saw your first post regarding these, I did a search on the internet for photo's and information but came up with virtually nothing, so I give you credit for taking them on.

I couldn't find anything either so I just played it by ear as it were, never mind,I tried my best.
