  • Need a identity on these please

    I have recently aquired some of these spiders but I have absolutely no idea what they are. Can anyone help?

    Hi Matthew,

    Are they blue? The first thing that sprung to my mind was Homoeomma sp. "blue".

      No they are more green than blue.

        Then maybe something like Euathlus sp. "green", I think they are also (incorrectly) sold as Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi "green form".

          Here is a better picture in day light. Please note that it has a 2 inch leg span at the moment

              T.puriens seems to be coming up the most over the forums matt has posted on... well looks like we may have solved these enigmas.

                I'd say T. pruriens too.

                  whereas i can see the similarity, they don't appear to look a huge amount like my T pruriens of the same size, though i of course am probably wrong...but it'd be good to compare in person...will try to visit you lot soon and bring one with me!
