[โ] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago (9 children) No way. What's their name? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [โ] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago (4 children) My other T. vagans' ( same species) name is Garambullo, inspired by the very delicious fruit of this cactus. Kinda looks like the species signature red rump. But this one doesn't have a name... Any suggestions? It's a female but I'm sure she's fine with whatever XD. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) I've never seen cactus fruit like that before, initially I thought it was a joke image and someone had taken a cactus and put a blueberry on each needle or something.

But it's an endemic plant, not well known outside the region; that's why I attached some pics ;). Not your typical catus fruit. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] littlewonder@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Saguaro Guy Fieri (she's got those frosted tips) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [โ] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago Saguaro Keepin it botannical, good suggestion. she's got those frosted tips My bad, that's the flash reflecting on the urticating hairs. under mormal light conditions those leg segments look just the tiniest bit lighter that the upper leg. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago (3 children) That's a she. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [โ] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago* (2 children) Woooah where did you get your tarantula sexing powers? (Sexing them is a tad difficult) :P This one is indeed a female. Care to suggest a name for her? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago (1 child) Eloise sounds kinda charming. She's a bit bulkier than a male judging from the photo. Ofc it could also be true for some males but it was a solid guess ngl. She's gorgeous tho. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [โ] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago* Nice name suggestion! As far as I'm aware, males get the lanky look after they reach maturity and molt for the last time, since feeding stops being a priority for them; pedipalps also change and thats an sure sign of a mature male T. I think they are indistinguishable before that? This one was actually pretty skinny when that pic was taken since she had recently molted . So far all of my mature T's have turned out to be females so... Maybe I don't have keen eyes ti spot the males. permalink fedilink source parent
