Cupiennius sp.
I keep finding this in my Home...totally confused...Huntsman Spider? Wolf spider? Leopard wandering spider or What??? I have gone into some Costa Rican Clubs in which they claim it is the Brazilian wandering spider? According to them we have them here now...??
Gallery Forest. 900 Meters-3000 feet above sea level, next to Tanaca National Park, a Pasture , and in a Garden with Endemic trees, plants and flowers of Costa Rica.
Now I remember, who you are :-)
Thanks a lot, Stu, it's quite a longtime ago, but never too late for an appropriate ID!!
Long time and no ID, sorry for that! This beauty was an adult male of Cupiennius coccineus, currently in family Trechaleidae (that may change)
Thank you so much bayucca, I have put so many hour trying to ID this Spider and I have not been satisfied as to what it is...The markings in the butt and in the body do not convinced me on an ID yet... : ( I really would like and an ID because I get lots of them here in my Land...
Ctenidae and I think it is a Cupiennius sp., however, not really sure which one. Getazi? Salei? Other one? Male or female?
