Woooah where did you get your tarantula sexing powers? (Sexing them is a tad difficult) :P This ome is indeed a female. Care to suggest a name for her?
LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
Eloise sounds kinda charming.
She’s a bit bulkier than a male judging from the photo. Ofc it could also be true for some males but it was a solid guess ngl. She’s gorgeous tho.

My other T. vagans’ ( same species) name is Garambullo, inspired by the very delicious fruit of this cactus. Kinda looks like the species signature red rump.

But this one doesn’t have a name… Any suggestions? It’s a female but I’m sure she’s fine with whatever XD.

I’ve never seen cactus fruit like that before, initially I thought it was a joke image and someone had taken a cactus and put a blueberry on each needle or something. Wild.

Oh it’s real, I promise. But it’s an endemic plant, not well known outside the region; that’s why I attached some pics ;). Not your typical catus fruit.

Keepin it botannical, good suggestion.
My bad, that’s the flash reflecting on the urticating hairs. under mormal light conditions those leg segments look just the tiniest bit lighter that the upper leg.
