CA Myg Picture Roundupi would like to see how many NON-THERAPHOSIDAE species we have gotten pics of, and make a consolidated thread to show them offplease add links or img tags to pics of as many species as have not shown up in this thread so far. the img and pics will be used on other forums to show off our goods 
i am expecting we can do 15 and hoping we can do 20+ here is what i have so far [QUOTE=cacoseraph;159537]I recently collected at least three species of mygs that i have yet to identify. I found all three in the same valley in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USA oh yeah, ignore the filenames =P they were really rough first guesses, and i haven't read up on myg stuff in like a year #1 
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums...hunt/BL/mar09mid/bonus_myg02b.jpg and i have a youtube called "Bonus Trapdoor Spider" of when i actually found the spider
#2 makes open ended slightly flared burrows. burrow collar is clean when make in just dirt and horizontally oriented 
but can have little twigs and leaves when made in a littered area

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums...mar09mid/couldbe_apomastus08b.jpg #3 is probably a Mecicobothriidae, either Megahexura fulva or Hexurella rupicola

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums...ph/hunt/BL/09marend/MyMeci01b.jpg everyone is adapting quite well to captivity. #1 has made an open ended mini-burrow and has eaten a couple little crickets #2 i have two of, and both have settled into their new little homes and have made entertaining tube burrow/webs everywhere #3 has molted since that picture and is now darker in the ceph and slightly more red in the abdomen. i was hoping it was a mature H. rupicola but am slightly leaning towards an immature M. fulva at this point. I *might* have another mature M. fulva from a dif part of the country... i can't tell if it is a Mecico or a Neme offhand (yes, easy to tell.. i just havent taken the right pics and looked it up... i will try to get picks of it and post them here)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=cacoseraph;159543]#4 probably Calisoga probably longitarsus 
#5 probably Calisoga probably theveneti  [/QUOTE]
we need lots of the thick and thin trap doors, turret spiders, etc still! |
