un Have you seen this spider? (Brownsville) image 1 of 5 compensation: $15 per spider Have you seen this spider? I'm currently seeking adult Paraphidippus Fartilis, with a particular focus on females. The existing captive-bred population in the U.S. is based on a very limited number of wild-caught individuals. As a result, the genetic diversity is low and signs of inbreeding are emerging, which puts the long-term health of the population at risk. Unfortunately, it is no longer legal to import them from Mexico, where they are more commonly found. However, these spiders are native and legal to collect in southern Texas, particularly around Brownsville, the northernmost edge of their natural range. To help revitalize and responsibly strengthen the captive population, I'm looking to collect a small number of healthy wild adults. If you're in the area and able to help: I'm offering $15 per adult female and $10 per adult male I'll provide collection tips and care instructions Once you have a few, I'll make the drive to pick them up in person Your help could play a crucial role in ensuring a more sustainable and genetically diverse future for this beautiful species in captivity, and make a bit of money in the process.
