I don't know anything about your observation of multiple spiders on the banana tree.  Perhaps it was a whole group of slings coming out of a nest if it was agitated.  It's certainly not normal behaviour for adult jumping spiders.

Depending on where you are, you can probably pick up a Phiddipus sp. or two.  I know Mindstorm is dying to see them face off.  I couldn't find any in my region (Seattle area) so they are probably not indigenious to the northwest.

Hey guys, took half day leave to comb the spot at Kallang Way with Vincent. After a tired search, we managed to find Hulk back!! Was quite surprised we are able to find him back cause that place is quite big. He was hiding on a big leaf with a dry leaf on top of it. Caught a fs to spar with him and confirmed it's him.

So this sunday's match will be Transformer : Revenge of the fallen

Added on July 29, 2009, 2:55 amI always have some crazy ideas. One of them i have all along but never get around to do is to preserve the passed- away kings in a glamourous way. Sort of put them in a fighting stance and preserve them in a clear resin like how they make insect jewellery. In that way, you will always be able to eyeball compare sizes of kings from different generations.

this must be the weirdness story i have heard about fs. I would understand if they are slings. But s-m size? 10? walau.

Personally, i don't have any impression of catching 2 males one nest. Maybe i did, but i don't remember it at all. It must be a big nest if that is the case. I doubt fs understand wat is brotherhood about. I have been rearing slings on and off recently and i can tell u this. After a few days after hatching, the slings would separate and should they meet, they will square off! With stance and all. And not uncommonly, one of them can even launch a chop!(You can try that yourselves, catch some similar slings and fight them!) They are born to fight!

But i wouldn't deny the possibility that some offsprings may somehow acquire tolerence shld they be "forced"(for lack of better choice) to grow inside the same nest. Just like fighting fish. I have seen my friend reared about 30-40 adult males fighters in one large tank since they are fries. Now and then a couple may flare up but otherwise they seems like females in a tank. So it is possible that may be the case with "brother" fs.

The brother fs i talked about very early in this forum(bro1 and bro2) were not caught in same nest. They were caught while still in the stage before the last moult(black face) and because they both moulted exactly the SAME night, i ASSUME they are brothers. Also because they were nearly same size and pattern and caught in nest that were quite closeby. Now come to think of it, it must be terribly coincidental that 2 brother fs can moult exactly the same time for ALL the number of moults until the last one. 

I found that slings can moult exactly the same day for the first moult but got also a few days apart. But overall this shows that the cycle can be fairly predictable, means the cycle fall within a small range of deviation, provided they are not starved or diseased i suppose.
