Monocentropus balfouri 1/2” DTG Described in 1871 by Austriansize 1 2 One of the most incredible spiders in the hobby, well known for its communal behaviors. The buzz around this spider when it came to the hobby around 2006 was something Ill never forget. I owned 2 of the original 6 that came to the states, and at the time was the most I ever paid for a spider. Thankfully through captive breeding this spider is well established in the hobby now, with people keeping big numbers on them in one large enclosure.
