Received a shipment from Arizona today. Unfortunately, it's too late in the season for most of the cool critters I wanted to stock up on, such as Jerusalem crickets, Olios huntsmen, western black widows and those huge Lord of the Rings size wolf spiders. So this is a rather small package, and about half is for my personal collection.
Tohono Vinegaroon
Mastigoproctus tohono
The Arizona variety of vinegaroons that I usually get.
Blue Death Feigning Beetles
Asbolus verrucosus
Coolest little beetles you'll ever see. Disturb them and they play dead in a dramatic fashion.
Oklahoma Brown Tarantula
Aphonopelma hentzi
My supplier only had two left. Bigger than slings but still pretty small. About 1".
Madrean Red Rump Tarantula
Aphonopelma vorhiesi
A new addition for my collection. My sucky iPhone camera didn't pick up the deep red of her abdomen. Beautiful smaller Aphonopelma but not a dwarf.
Speaking of dwarves...
Paloma Dwarf Tarantula
Aphonopelma paloma
Yes, that's an adult. The smallest species of tarantula in the world. Maxes out at about 2 inches.
Madrean Dwarf Tarantula
Aphonopelma cf madera
An undescribed Aphonopelma dwarf from the Madera Sky Islands.
Arizona Rock Scorpion
Smeringurus vachonii vachonii
Darker cousin to the dune scorpion.
