Another great find, and another very challenging identification, no luck on my end. Posted 11 years ago

  So gorgeous, I have sent a photo off to the Spider Club of SA in the hope they will help with an ID. I posted it on their Facebook page but so far, no help.
  I actually saw this spider on a plant a little while ago but just caught a glimpse, so happy to have finally found it again as I really thought I was dreaming! Posted 11 years ago

    I had stumbled upon the Spider Club site yesterday but found the site itself not very useful for identification, I hope their members can help though, would be nice. Posted 11 years ago

      I am hopeful, I believe Ansie Dippenaar runs it with others, they were extremely helpful with my leucauge thomeensis saga so fingers crossed. Posted 11 years ago

This is so exciting. I have just received an email back from Dr Ansie and she advises me that this is possibly a new genus although they have seen quite a few of them. At the moment they are calling it Theridiidae sp.1 Posted 11 years ago
