Message: <blockquote data-quote="plessey" data-source="post: 166267" data-attributes="member: 373">Looking through the taxonomic revision of Aphonopelma that was done a few years ago, the only time Sunflower is mentioned is as a collection site for Aphonopelma chalcodes. Of course that is no guarantee that is what this spider is but if I had to make a guess.......Perhaps try contacting Chris Hamilton or Brent Hendrixson. They may be able to help you a bit more but given it is a spiderling I wouldn't get my hopes up unless they can confirm chalcodes is the only species found in that area.</blockquote>
