Ya.. Mangrovejumper. What do u think about Slayer?
So u think this is part of chop also?
I can't tell for sure. You can train a FS male to become very aggressive due to memory of the last fights. But if you let him calm down, he can lose the hyper aggressiveness if he's not a chop. Show Mindstorm la when you see him, he can confirm for you.
Mindstorm: It's a bit sad that you only have 14-15 slings out of the 100+ eggs. Perhaps the female knows which eggs were not going to hatch and ate them. 15% yield is not good at all. What do you plan to do with them once the leave the nest?
Here's an interesting site. This Wayne Maddison guy is an absolute spider man. I looked at the pics for hours until my eyes almost popped out. There is years and years of work there.
Tree of life - Jumping spidersThe spiders are from US, Canada and South America. You may be able to triple or quadruple that if you include the ones from Asia, Europe and Australia.
The pics include Phidippus sp. It confirms my first assumption that the pic I posted is Phiddipus regius, not Phiddipus audax. It has white lines on the sides of the head which is what P. regius has.
Thiania is briefly listed, but not Bavia aericeps. Evarcha flavocincta (Hantu kuning) and Ligurra sp. (Mangrovejumper) are also briefly listed, but no pics.
There are some short mating clips of Habronattus sp. that may be interesting to look at too...part of his research. I learned that spiders are classified mostly by their teeth, haha.
What we've done certainly doesn't compare to what they have, but we have some stuff that's a lot more in depth.
