Ok.. another last FS hunt bfr cny.
Went to check out another FS hunting area which is about 5 mins drive from my housing area.
Ya..lotsa FS hunting spot nearby my housing area..alwys tempted to go hunt FS

Its located at Keramat AU 2B/1, behind the septic pond, nearby empty land car park and football field.
Actually went to this hunting spot nearby 2 hunt fs many years ago but only hunt outside beside the football field.
Once stepped further into the green lungs.. its a very big area with lotsa yam, nipah, wild pepper, etcs leaves.. good for FS to thrives & populates.
Can get lost if wander too far deep coz its kinda like a forest. I think only cover about 20% of this area coz didn't went further because dark liao..

Proven FS hunting spot?

Check the pics & videos

The biggest fs caught at the end of the video.

what happen at 0.43-0.44 in the video? FS chop to wrong direction?

Think its the combination of gradient, FS charging speed & strong wind.

may i know normally FS eating spend how long time? will FS poison by food? just now i feed Armstrong eating a white color big spider. It only spend about 5 minutes to eat, then just stop. And now i found out it become very weak. not moving. when i touch it using finger, it only walk very slow.also unable to jump.also don't wan drink water. is it been poison by food?

Dpds type and size of the insects.. not sure abt ur spider coz different type of thiania subspecies.

For normal T-bha...it will eat for few 2-3 mins only and drop off its food unless hungry maybe eat longer abit
but for chopster type T-bha will eat much longer about 20 - 30 min+

Normal T-bha normally just kill off other ghost spider if feel threaten.. if eat also just suck from abd, legs or arms..

Maybe ur Armstrong get bitten when try to eat other big spider...

yesterday around 10pm, i found out Armstrong weak and not moving... i thought it will die soon. this morning i wake up found out it seen ok liao. can drink water and eat flying insect.

Measure Armstrong again on grid paper today. think it already reached 1cm. post some photo of it as below:

Looks like Armstrong is fine now.

Yea. now it can eat and drink. still alive. I caught it at 19th dec...

back from genting just now. caught a ML t.cam male about 8mm+ and a small t.bha male.The small t.bha is very bright gold color. I really thought it is aiscream pow based on its color. when i bring back home, i let it fight with my other t.bha. OMG! is a super fierce chopster! it beat the t.bha which is bigger than it and kill the opponent! capture the violence video as below:

Second video is quite interesting.

today found out it actually is partial chopster only.. can arm pushing.. yea. second video interesting! they share food? Anyway. gong xi fatt cai to u..

Recent FS caught and pass to SG kakis, smaller than ZET2 but bigger than Blackbird, VEO, etc..
Good size FS looks awesome in close up/zoom pics.

The right side FS look big. Did u measure it at grid paper?

Local T-bha FS good size abt 7mm+. Large ones will be abt 7.5 - close to 8mm.
Maybe theres other bigger one out there.. >8mm++

Heres are some pictures of the recent local MY/SG T-bha FS which I feel have awesome size.

Hi,

I'm a new kid on the block from Singapore. Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year!

This spider jumped on my car while I was parked near some bushes. Can anyone help me to identify if its a fighting spider? it looks similar but the abdomen lacks the typical stripes.

Wishing all Dear FS Brothers a HAPPY, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS Chinese New Year 2014!!!





Thanks to Bro Jason for providing us such a hilarious account of the Jan 2014 HK hunting trip!
Indeed each photo carries a sense of humor of its own..
It is really a heartwarming sight seeing so many SG/Msia brothers committing your previous time for a spider activity overseas!
Bro Xarms must be really glad too. And I don't think there's many other such hardcore FS enthusiast like us in SG/Msia! to us.
Well.. for the next trip i hope the size of the group to fly over will be even bigger!



Below are some macro-shots taken of the FS Gifts generously given by our fellow brothers:




The one and only adult T.Bha Male caught in HK, named it as Sakura II. Thanks Bro Jason





A Beautiful Lampow HK T.Bha Male. Thanks Bro Ricky





A Majestic Kimpow HK T.Bha Male. Thanks Bro Ken25





A Sexy SG T.Sub Female(suspected to be a hybrid with T.Bha). Thanks Bro Seng


*P.S.
Bro Jason, i really couldn't agree more with this sentence you said:
"Well, that only prove one thing, we get stronger outside and inside of this forum regardsless of what each other said because a family will still be a family irregards of occasional uneasy comments."

Thanks Bro for being the peacemaker too, and other Bros who helped as well, i'm really thankful and grateful for it..

Back in early Dec, one fine day after having FS bouts with fellow bros at Adam Park. Bro Jong and I decided to go Botanic Garden to hunt for FS, casually.
"Accidentally" found a new subspecies there(but not totally new as Bro Mindstorm and Bro Viper had probably seen it in Msia).

Named it as the T.Bee species as the patterns/stripes does resemble a bumble bee. Caught this T.Bee FS on the 13th Dec as a juvenile at first.

He/she has since moulted twice under captive. Should be a subadult in its penultimate instar now.

Thanks to Bro Evan who found this link, this species is probably documented with drawings at least:
http://salticidae.org/salticid/diagnost/pselcis/latifasc.htm


On the 17th Dec, made an appointment to hunt with Bro Evan and brought him to the T.Bee spot again.
Upon reaching there, he found a T.Bee sling supposedly but lost it as it really escaped fast.
Not expecting anything special while scanning around, we were surprisingly awarded with the Adult T.Bee Pair of considerable sizes!


The T.Bee Male, named as Bombus.





Bombus's Clip



The T.Bee Female, named as Apis.





Apis's Clip





Videoed a fight between two T.Bee males. Not really fighting though. Weird fighting stances and reactions too.
But the area where this species thrives, proved to be quite a promising spot with traces of slings, juveniles, subadults and some adult females as we continued to check up the area more thoroughly.





Gonna wait few more months before we can catch 2 decent T.Bee males and fight them properly..


Just for laugh...


Jong and his New Car...
