minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoI’d rather not say, just in the southeast.
minus-squareremon@ani.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoThere are two species in the US: Trichonephila clavipes and Trichonephila clavata, which is only documented in Georgia. And while similar, they shouldn’t look “exactly” the same. The picture OP posted is definitly a species that does not occure in the US. If you had some pictures that would be great.
minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoYea I have some from last summer, can let me figure out how to upload them to here.
