Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

Alot of the "glow" is some effects from the flash. I admit those though are some of the brightest T's I have right after a molt though. Also, in some species, the male T's seem to be extra showy. I was acutally disappointed to find out my P. platyomma is a female. The males of that speices are bright metallic purplish/pink.

I don't think I"ll be obtaining one anytime soon, I have no plans to breed that species. Also, I have discovered that the urticating hairs on that species are the worst out of my entire group, so it's cut back on my enthusiasm for that particular genus a bit.
I can link you to a picture of a male though.

Re: Some new T shots (dial up death)
Beauty shots as always - you have once again inspired me to get some updated shots of my many-legged boarders.
Do you catch a lot of kicked hairs from your new worlders? My b.smithi is by far the worst but admittedly the my pool of Ts pales by compare lol.

Re: Some new T shots (dial up death)
It's usually not to bad. I have gotten haired once by the male Boehemi. I headed for the shower immediately after that one. I wear disposable gloves if I have to rehouse anybody. Btw, if you set up your Hap in a deep burrow setup, (well you won't see it too much) but it won't freak out to much at ya.
I also wear gloves if I'm trying to sex a molt. I hang out on a couple of invert boards and long term exposure to the hairs seems to increase the reaction to it. I want to be able to keep my "oh so itchy" pretty new world species for a long time.
