Hi Everyone.

Thanks Alot to Bro Randy for his Efforts to post so many Good and Clear HD Fights..

Seems like the Overall Winner is Bro Ricky's FSes then followed by Bro Jason's Sapphire..
Bro Ricky only joined us for not very long, but already could produce such results in our FS Circle, really have to Kudos to Him.. ..whenever i see his Golden Force's Matches, i hardly saw any match that he lost..
Almost all Won right? Haha.. Power Man!! Keep it Up Bro Ricky, hope you'll give us some Foreign SurPrises soon..

Oh Yah!! Finally my BB02 can eat the Pinhead Cricket! Here are 2 Photos on him eating it. After keeping them for almost a Month's time, what i can say is that these T.Sub Slings are really Big Appetite FSes..!



Currently still dunno who are Males who are Females.. it is Not as Easy as Determining their Gender thru the Swollen Pedipalps for a Male and the Epigyne for a Female on the underside of abdomen. Becos all of them look the Same now. But there must be a Way to determine it even at their very Young Stages. I will try my Best to Figure it out someday..

P/s: Bro Ricky, whether Cloud can emerge to be the Current Champion still very Hard to say.. As nowadays so many Kakis are back into Action, with their Hardwork and Luck Level anytime they will be able to get Something Larger.. Well.. let's see how next week..

Latest Photo of Cloud:

Hi everyone,

Met bro Ricky on his way back to sg yesterday and he gave me a pair of fs as a gift. It is less similar like our fs but the sizes are good.










As you can see from the pic, the female are huge and can easily go up to 10mm. to my surprise both has white face. tried it with my spar and it ran away without fighting. Bro ricky kept a bigger one hopefully can see it soon.

The female came with eggs which I hope can be breed through bro Mindstorm


cheers,
Jason

!!!OH MY GOODNESS!!!

This Thiania Species must be a TREASURE!!!
Could be a CROSS-BREED species between Normal T.Bha and Genji's Species..!!!

At First glance on Bro Jason's Photos, i thought the Female's body was being dirty! But at a closer and more careful look, then i realised it was the FS's Stripes and Color pattern. Can't wait to see the REAL THING from Bro Ricky soon!!!

Salute to Bro Ricky for the GREAT CATCH..

Cheers
Ura

Hi guys,
Bad in writing, let my "home made" video tells the story...

The Highlander

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycgdsccZfgM...be_gdata_player

sorry for the poor quality+noisy background.
+-comments r wellcome

Ricky

POWDERFULL clip!
Another unseen Malaysian species, now captured on video and nicely edited...this time the species is a much bigger one, and the pattern... so unorthodox, sorta rugged. The fighting stance also different, arms are raised and lowered. The speed of movement of the male fighting seem similar to T.Sub. Thanks for sharing bro. Tomorrow will get to see the real thing from Bro Jason.

I can see a trend beginning... as more and more new species show up through our dedicated brothers and as they are brought together and being tried to be bred and captive raised, a whole new era of fs fighting will take place.... Pound for pound, which species will stand out as having the best fighters?

This post has been edited by mindstorm: Jun 2 2011, 12:45 AM

Yeah Bro Mindstorm, this time Bro Ricky really caught some GEMS back..!
This Species got the Size of T.Sub plus the White Face feature of T.Bha. The Stripes pattern also reminds us of Genji's species.. Yes very Unorthodox Fighting Stances, Wolverine's and Cyclop's are already so Different! ..So what shall we call this Thiania Species..?? T.Cam..?? Cos it was caught in Cameron Highland.. ..Well.. Every Kaki is welcome to contribute some Ideas to the most appropriate term we shall call it.. Tentatively let's just call it T.Cam..


Some Photos of Wolverine and Storm to share first, not very nicely taken though, will take more these few days and post again.. By the way recently i've just bought a New Cam(Panasonic Lumix LX3) and will be learning to take Super Macro Photography in this month. Actually i was Deeply Inspired by Luke Chua's Gui Spiders Photos.. and think it will be Great to apply this Macro-logy on our Favourite Thianias, be it T.Bha, T.Sub or T.Cam.. Haha..


Ok.. let me introduce you guys this KingKong Size T.Cam Female Storm.. already compared it with my Largest HK T.Sub Female Black Cat, they are around the Same Size.. ..only Black Cat's Arms are Thicker that's all.. Looking at her Color, this is really the 金丝猫.. Haha.. is really one Superb Good Catch by Bro Ricky..






Ok.. here comes one of the Biggest Caught Male Wolverine, it is a kind of Lampow for T.Cam i believe, should be XL-size when compared to our normal T.Bha Males.. having T.Bha's White Face and Genji's Zebra Stripes.. i also realised their Pedipalps aren't as Swollen as T.Bha Males.. Very Very NICE MALE caught by Bro Ricky!! again..







Once again i have to say THANKS ALOT to Bro Ricky for giving me so many New Species, got 2 more Big Females too. If the Females are going to lay eggs, i will try my Best to rear the Babies too, but will fix a limit.. Hahaha now really got many FSesss to keep.. ..but it is a VERY MEANINGFUL PERIOD i think..

Added on June 2, 2011, 1:46 amYeah KUDOS to Bro Ricky for making such a Wondeful Clip for us..

Ya.. now we have T.Sub, T.Cam plus the Dark Copper Color Abdomen 1arm Female i caught recently, let's call it T.Black since this Species got very very Dark Legs.. And not forgetting the T.Blue from Bukit Timah, yet another Thiania Group. Lastly our Usual T.Bha.. Wah Really Exciting man..! Total 5 Different Thiania Groups i counted. Well.. still need some time to know the Final Results..

This post has been edited by Urahinuk: Jun 2 2011, 02:04 AM

cheers,
Jason

Wow.. wat a catch!
Great effort by Bro Spideric.

Another exotic type of Thiania species fighting spiders. The body, head and arms structure looks strong and solid!
Strong fighter type category.. XL & XXL size summore... Another king kong FS found!
Thanks for sharing out here.

Is it the same type like the HK T-subproessa?
From pic and video looks different.. arm raise and bend fighting stance
The female head size looks very big but arms very small.
But quite fierce oso still can charge at normal T-bha male instead of retreating..

You caught from Cameron highlands which part area and from what type of leaves?
Maybe can post some pics of the hunting spot area.

Saw ur videos the T-Cam FS spar with chops.. not bad can withstand chopster and good fighting will..
Malaysia also have big size male and female FS..with good location and effort.. more king kong size FS will be found.
Thanks to u all FS kakis!

Hi Everyone

Yes, I have been very busy with work and been running all over the beautiful island of Singapore....for work purposes. Still somehow manage to keep myself updated with the FS Bros, a bit of hunt (maybe 30% of my normal effort) as well as read the forum.

We just about 2 hours ago had an Fs bout with Bro Edmund, Ricky and Ura at Bro Edmund's place. Managed to see all the " foreign talent ". Inbetween the busy-ness, managed to acquire 2 SL Fs, called Mysterio and Fear. Mysterio was caught after work on 01/06/11 and Fear was caught yesterday, lunchtime.

Will be releasing Love and Secret Weapon later today.

My heart and my mind is now on Cheras....and target 3rd week of June weekend. However, it will be last minute decision as it depend very much on my relative's avalability. Last year suppose to go and din go and instead went Pahang. Yes, Bro Jason, will kep you guys informed. In the meantime, I will be going to Hong Kong Sunday till Wednesday and once back and once work more managable....will be back to normal.

Your Exspiderking

Randy

Kaoz... another species of thiania .. really an eye-opener to sg fs bros. 10mm in body length ?

This post has been edited by Trevally: Jun 4 2011, 10:36 AM

Hello bro Jon,
Quite some time didn't c u in hunting action,when can we hunt together with bro Ura again?
Yes I think the pictures aboved exactly the same species to me,
I also found another smaller in different type,only spotted two different species..I used to found T-Bha in genting two years ago, but not in Cameron highland..no sign at all.

---

Added on June 4, 2011, 6:35 pmHi bro Trevally,
I hvnt measure the actual size of Giant Bu ,based on bro Ura compared with HK T-Sub Bu Black Cat almost same size,think it's abt 10mm in body length.

---

Added on June 4, 2011, 6:57 pmHi bro mindstorm,
Thanks for the kind comment on my clip. Bro Ura did tried the female facing with HK Bu but they don't seems like fighting..as for the T-sub male also not everytime they fight when met T-Bha male,sometime it saw T-Bha straight away run eventho that male r much smaller than him.. '"
After discussed bro Ura think u r the best person to keep the giant male with bro jason if u still interested,we won't c tis species today if without u & bro vipper...both of u r real Datuk of spider !

P/s: bro vipper,I will try to post the location/spot later tonite.

Cheers,
Ricky

Hi Everyone

Finally after one week plus of work related madness do I now have the luxury of time and peace to slowly re-read the forum. I must be the only one who missed the historical events that have just unfolded ...that is the FS (s) caught by Bro Ricky from Cameron Highland. Today is the first time I viewed the video slowly with the sound on (office cannot lah...spider and garang music) and the T-Cam are huge. I love the name " Wonder Woman" and the name brought lots of teenage memories which I shall rather not describe. The 2nd last part of the video is the climax as both huge monster actually fought quite aggressively with each other. Yes, that is a very cool and exciting video.

I now wonder whether our normal FS of the past was actually of T-Cam size ? Many old timer will claim to have seen or kept bigger ones. Could it be that Singapore was colder in the past, hence the old timer mistook the T-Cam for our normal FS??? Well, thank you Bro Ricky for the national FS treasure.

I particularly love Bro Edmund's Diablo for being so cute and unusual ....something like a wig on his head??? However, Bro Edmund just informed me that Diablo met with a mishap after eating a black cricket. I wish Diablo well.

After this morning's fight, released Love and Secret Weapon and caught Po as replacement. Did not spar my FS for about 1 week and did so this evening:-

Po (Right) V Fear (Left) 040611

Mysterio (Left) V Fear (Right) 040611

Mysterio (Top) V Macho Man (Bottom) 040611

Mysterio (Right) V Strawberry (Left) 040611


Current ranking:-

(1) Strawberry
(2) Mysterio
(3) Macho Man
(4) Fear
(5) Po

Guys, now let's take a Close Look at the few Thiania Groups we have encountered.
I will be using the Female's Photos since i dun have the Male's Photos for most of the Thiania Groups.
Total 8 different Thiania Groups so far.. but still short of Groups of Rindaman and Genji for the Female's Photos, in fact i still dunno how their Females look like.. so i will be showing 6 Different Thiania Females now..



T.Bha



T.Black



T.Blue



T.Red



T.Cam



T.Sub


While surfing on the net for Thianias, also found this unknown Thiania Group.
Luckily found photos of both the Male and Female..

Its sure a shocking + exciting catch when u landed urself getting this huge size Thiania sub species FS at cameron highland.
When i caught Giant Bu last time.. i was like waa.. So huge. wheres the male ? wheres the male King kong?
Keep searching but only found normal average size male.

U managed to catch both huge size Male and Female FS ... strike jackpot liao lar.
Bro Yuda sure will be very interested with these T-Cam FS.. maybe he will go Cameron Highland soon to hunt for them.

Hmm.. the giant T-Cam female and HK T-Sub female not interested to fight each other?
Earlier video i saw the giant T-Cam female seems trying to chop a normal male T-Bha fs..
Maybe this T-Cam females likes to fight male FS instead.
From the pics posted Storm size is really huge..HEAD and Abdomen so big size.... the face looks abit white like male.. but its palp looks not swelling..
Could it be a male and its the reason for the Black Cat to avoid any confrontation like previous male encounter?

In your video also..the T-Cam male oso seems can fight quite well against normal T-Bha Fs and chop Fs...
is its after being chop earlier by chopster the T-Cam becomes weak and no mood to fight?

Most FS after making their own nest inside leaves and settle down sometime will becomes more aggresive in fights to defend their territory..
Its more like protecting their nest... I feel this T-Cam FS also will be the same.

Yea.. last but not least.. my nick is Viper88... nit Vipper.. lol..

Here's a Photo of Bro Edmund's Cool Cool Diablo, i think Diablo(Asian) is a very Fashionable Male, also like to "dye his hair" Gold Color like the AngMoLang T.Cam(see Leona's Hair).. ..anyway I also Wish Diablo Get Well soon!




Some New Photos of the AngMoLang T.Cam.. there are 2 other HUGE Females i am keeping now. Both are around the Same size with Storm in fact, only their abdomens seem to be smaller than Storm.. Head Size the Same i think..


Wolverine


Cyclop


Vanessa


Leona

T. red looks like the same as T. sub.
Anyway, some/all of these spiders may already have been previously named. There were arachnologists of the past that
have done the research. Unfortunately, I don't think macro existed then!

Thiania species

Thiania abdominalis Zabka, 1985 — Vietnam
Thiania aura Dyal, 1935 — Pakistan
Thiania bhamoensis Thorell, 1887 — Burma to Sumatra
Thiania cavaleriei Schenkel, 1963 — China
Thiania chrysogramma Simon, 1901 — Hong Kong
Thiania cupreonitens (Simon, 1899) — Sumatra
Thiania demissa (Thorell, 1892) — Indonesia
Thiania formosissima (Thorell, 1890) — Borneo
Thiania gazellae (Karsch, 1878) — New Guinea
Thiania humilis (Thorell, 1877) — Sulawesi
Thiania inermis (Karsch, 1897) — Hong Kong
Thiania jucunda Thorell, 1890 — Sumatra
Thiania luteobrachialis Schenkel, 1963 — China
Thiania pulcherrima C. L. Koch, 1846 — Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Sulawesi
Thiania sinuata Thorell, 1890 — Malaysia
Thiania suboppressa Strand, 1907 — China, Vietnam, Hawai'i
Thiania subserena Simon, 1901 — Malaysia
Thiania viscaensis Barrion & Litsinger, 1995 — Philippines

Another interesting factoid is that T. bhamoensis means "north of Burma", therefore Bhamo-ensis.
