I asked Bastian to send me some info and he sent me a very detailed phylogenetic revision on the central european distribution of them. Great paper (haven't finished the 25 pages).
Damn, I want these guys more than ever _________________ God does not play at dice AE
Wow!!! that's nice... does the 8 specimen include your CB, or do they not fall under the permitted number...
That does not include CBs, only adult specimen that have been collected.

I hate to burden you, but +10 per square meter sounds pretty good, are you researching these? and if so, how large of an area would you say they are limited to? (the area where you know they exist, I assume, is a wild area, if so, have you found them, let's say, 100 meters away?, 50 meters away? 25 meters away from the site where you know they inhabit? or are they endemic to a particular set of parameters that exist in the immediate vicinity of the area where you find them?
I´m not really researching them, I just visit the site once-twice a year in order to check on the population development.
As far as I saw so far they´re not as limited as A. piceus. A. piceus occurs only on the bank you see in the pictures, whereas E. kollari occur around the whole area, also in the flatlands surrounding. _________________ Regards,

yup.
they are still in my head (btw, I can't change the heading to just Eresus sp. being that I now have found Eresus cinnaberinus to be what they call a nomen dubium)
These are beautiful as well (Kevin, thank you for the heads up on the sp. available in the area), this specimen came from Caco's Burnedlands _________________ God does not play at dice AE
OHHH thats nice lookin. looks like it has a button on its back _________________ “Look down at me and you see a fool;

That male is a looker . Is it mating season? or is he out for a stroll?
E. kollari has some red (orange?) on legs III & IV right?
I don't think E. sandaliatus shares that trait.
So, is this one of your guys or is he a wild guy?
thank you for sharing the pic. _________________ God does not play at dice AE
hey,
I caught and kept him. Please note that I took that picture some years ago.
He´s still preserved in alcohol here and keyed out as E. cinnaberinus, which is considered a junior syonym of E. kollari since 2008.
Atm it´s not mating season, this should start in june+july I think.
I´m going to visit the habitat this year again, certainly going to take some pictures. _________________ Regards,

the adress above will lead you to that guy's post. I also copied the adress to this thread here on hobbyists forum thinking this guy could learn everything he wants to know by reading your posts :-)
hi,
no, not higher numbers than last year - how should I find higher numbers when there´re at least 3-5 webs/burrows per squaremeter ^^
Atypus piceus cannot be found that often in the habitat, but maybe I just overlooked some of their burrows.
Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but since I´m there again in about 1 month I´m going to take pictures then.
@Krawll: Depending on the size I´d go for Eresus walckenaeri.
