Your comments and favs are appreciated more than you know and do not go unnoticed
A different view.
Myself and Eathan Douglas have been working together today out searching and talking. He is studying to be an Arachnologist. He has written this little piece of info about the female below and has also inspired me to make more ventral images like this one.
Here is is his info below
Several huntsman spider species from genus Isopeda look almost outwardly identical, without a very close and careful look at the cheliceral setae or an examination of the spiders genitalia for instance, they’re difficult to discern between, another thing that’s worth being paid attention to is the ventral surface. (Distribution is very useful too)
Isopeda prolata, a similar species to isopeda montana has black coxae (joint that joins the legs to the cephalothorax) while Montana’s are grey and noticeably less bold
Shooting info as follows.
