That looks like the one I posted up at the start, it was around the same size aswell.

[Niall]

Sure do,
Thought this guy was a T when I first saw it and its home.

the flicker photo is spot on with colour and vevet look, but the shape is wrong and most of all no pink dots on the ends of the legs. although it does have two dots on the abdomen, the spider i found had 8 dots on the legs, not the abdomen.

also pads on the feet and thick legs all the way down, not pointy or tappered

We really need picks of the spider mate, Would be awesome to see a W.A T alive.

Just Got this from Dr Robert Raven (Australias foremost spider expert)
[FONT=&quot]OK, in Perth, it is not a T but Idiommata blackwalli, a large beautiful black Brush-footed trapdoor, Barychelidae. Please post this info and the attached onto the list.

Many thanks

Robert
