Skyvie Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Wow, these aren't even on his website - I wonder if they will be soon. These guys look pretty neat when they're adults...almost like a Lucihormetica, but not quite. Eurycotis are some of my favorites 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are stunning as adults, I really can't wait to see them in person! I can see the similarities to Lucihormetica, the markings on the wings and abdomen aren't too different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The adults are insane, I got to see them in person at the Tinley Park NARBC show while I helped Kyle vend. I ended up getting three ooths and almost an adult pair, but Kyle wanted to keep them to continue bolstering his colony since they didn't sell. I have a ton of little nymphs running around now that I probably need to upgrade this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, hope your nymphs do well for you, keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'd go with P.horrida, these are pretty and all, but are a huge PIA to care for, as they are very fast and always try to bolt out of the enclosure.

Oh, that's not a major problem for me, I've dealt with it before. lol I'll see if I can get both since it's so hard to choose, but if it comes down to it, I'll go with horrida. Alan's pics have really just motivated me to acquire them along with the fact that I've been keeping an adult masked hunter and have grown quite fond of assassins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about 1.1" in length. This is probably the smallest species of Eurycotis available in the hobby! (unless sp.
