[QUOTE="Theraphosa, post: 368139, member: 32175"] It certainly looks like it's the same species ([I]L[I]eucauge [/I]venusta[/I]). There is another species ([I]L. argyra) [/I]in that genus that can look very similar in some parts of the range. They do overlap in parts of their range, in those areas, you might have to examine the male genitalia under a microscpe for a postitive ID. Not knowing where this was taken, I'd guess that this is the same species ([I]L. venusta[/I]). You can always Google them and check the range to be sure. It's a great shot of a beautiful spider. I know these guys can be very shy sometimes. [/QUOTE]
