Macrothele sp. “Guangxi” 1.5”

size 1.5”

Another awesome funnel web from Guangxi, China. I’m still working out if this is a described species or not, but it seems to be a smaller species reaching just over 2 inches.  Keep like any funnel web spider, tall container filled half way with dirt. They will do the rest. These spiders cannot climb smooth glass. However they will web over everything, and that web will reach the top of the enclosure. They are quite fast and agile on their web. Like any Macrothele, they can be a bit bitey. So use some caution around these spiders.
