Description

This is a large opisthoncus species with an unusual life style. Much like the similar Opisthoncus abnormis, this species is exclusively found on grass trees (Xanthorrhea) in dry eucalypt forests. Unlike O.abnormis they are not nocturnal but also fluoresce under UV.

They require a special setup of fake grass-like plants and prefer flying prey such as moths and house flies.  You can however feed them crickets successfully by using the feeding cup method where you place the spider with a cricket into a sauce container, for a couple of hours.

Currently eating x-small crickets and house flies.

Sold as unsexed juvies or sub-adult female
