[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 156403, member: 4086"] Hmm. Yeah, she's indistinguishable from my local anax. I read the Aphonopelma revision, iirc it said they can only be ID'd through localities and DNA testing. Widespread across south Texas, and while I've hunted for moderatum (not diligently enough!) anax are still the only tarantula species I find regularly here. At least I hope I'm calling them the right name..another enthusiast I know calls them all hentzi, which according to my map is incorrect. I think. :D Look up a pic of a MM chalcodes. They look just like anax. It's all very irritating...apparently they can't get all the data they need from south and central America, so they can't do a true, detailed revision of Aphonopelma. We get thousands of illegal invading hobos from those countries, and we can't even get a look at their spiders... You're right though, they're lovely little Ts. [/QUOTE]
