Nice spider greething from Indonesia
Actually, I think it's this spider! 3 dead ones along my walk. I can't imagine how many I walked by that I didn't see! ��
The species depends on the area you were...
Do they also occur in higher elevations like in the pine forest zones or montane regions of the higher elevations ? Perhaps near Pico Duarte ?
On the mountains near Pico duarte there aren't any Phormictopus sp. but surely some other Theraphosidae smaller than Phormictopus
