Default Re: Bothriocyrtum californicum?

There are no folding-door spiders (Antrodiaetus) in Texas. This one is Eucteniza sp. (family Cyrtaucheniidae - lots of scopula on the underside of the legs). One of the species, E. rex (yes, rex) from South Texas, gets massive - easily as large as some of the Aphonopelma I have collected from the same area!!!
