Fighting Spiders- Thiania bhamoensis
Top- Thiania bhamoensis ♀
Bottom- Thiania bhamoensis ♂
Oh, those were the good old days. As kids, we were taught by the elders on how to look for these spiders, which often build their nests by sticking two pieces of leaves together. After finding one, we will keep them in match boxes, feeding them flies from time to time.
Of course, the main purpose of finding and keeping these spiders were to participate them in fight tournaments between friends or family :p
Fighting spiders will use their 1st pair of legs to fight (rapid "punches), push and injure their opponents. Males usually fight more violently.
The fighting aside, these spiders tend to be very curious, and won't hesitate to jump onto your hands when you want it to. The metallic green micro-scales throughout the body give these spiders a magnificent look too!
