Baboon Spider ID Please

Postby Chameleon Company » Thu Nov 15, 2012 1:20 pm

I have found these baboon spiders in Northern Free State Province, Sasolburg to be exact (Quarter grid cell 2627DD)

Please help ID them, the top photo is H. hamiltoni im pretty sure, but is the bottom one a H. hamiltoni spiderling or is it a different species?

And yes they are all on permit.

Both are Harpactira sp. (Probably hamiltoni considering the area)
Top one looks like an adult female.
