Have you tried keeping complex myrmecia urens? Or other rare species? I suppose it depends on where you are based as these e.g. urens, picta, abberrans group are more common in australia’s southern regions. Impressive collection man.
@antsepping12 күн бұрын
Thanks, I have never had anything from the urens complex before, would be nice to get one though

Not a rare species, found commonly on lower south east of SA, little desert VIC, eyre peninsula and throughout lower adelaide hills. Just not found on the east coast… Otherwise very great production quality. 👍
