Re: Best winter finds?
Dunno about my best winter find..... But my favorite winter finds were all 7 subspecies of Ensatina, all of the California Aneides genus, and Plethodon stormi. These salamanders are all favorites of mine. In the middle of a Peruvian winter, I found what seems to be a new species of tarantula in the ...

For me, seeing kukaburras in the wild was awesome. But a real treat for me was a hike in the forests of northern New South Wales....

The bromeliad is Guzmania monostachia.

The spider you found is in the Aphonopelma chalcodes complex. There are several species in this complex with many variations. The particular locality you found is a very nice variation of chalcodes. I have found them in this same area.
