[squeezen spotty]

[hornet]

Mate, amazing to see a Glenelva out of its hole hahahah. Every now and again I can see mine through the little window into her burrow she was nice enough to provide me.

She looks fat and healthy

 

[hornet]

shes been out of her hole for weeks, shes a good one, she comes out for weeks at a time but when shes away it can be for up to 6months

There a nice looking T, this species is a little on the aggressive side.
What is here leg span 140 mm ish?
What other adults do you have

 

[hornet]

not agressive at all, yet to see an agressive t. She is quite defensive tho. Shes about 160mm and my only adult but a few that are not far from it.

lol same thing

 

[hornet]

actually quite different, there is a big write up on the topic from people sick of others calling them agressive when it is really just defensive behaviour
