@WolfSpider Not bad for a 2.5 year old T . This name change was a while back but not everyone is using it so I use both

@IamKrush I can't find anything definite, it seems a lot of Ts were dumped in the Euathlus genus for want of somewhere to put them and now it's thought that the sp Red should be Homoeoma sp Fire. Both names are still in use depending on where you look and I've even seen suggestions that they are 2 different species. Confusing or what?

@IamKrush Yes that's where I read it too. One day they may get them all classified correctly
