contact info
Hi, G.K., I was wondering if I could talk to you about possibly using this image for a website, but there isn't any contact info on your member page. We can talk here or you can contact me if you want (my address is on my profile page).

Moved from Spiders. From Rod Crawford: This is as diagnostic a set of A. ferox as you could wish for. Compare with drawings here.
