Description:
This is a beautiful adult male. It can be recognised as a male as the palps appear inflated - like boxing gloves - (see pic 2) which is characteristic of male spiders. The third leg has the tibia bowed (visible in pic 1) which is a characteristic of Conothele.The body measured approx 1 inch (2.5cm) and if the legs were stretched out, approx 2 - maybe 2.5 inches (5-6.35cm).
Habitat:
This beauty was running around in the dirt carpark at the recreation centre towards the edge of town while I was at work.taken on my mobile.
Notes:
Thank you to Western Australian Museum Curator for the identification and information.
