There is a good chance it is one of these -

Avicularia hirsuta, Citharacanthus alayoni, Citharacanthus cyaneus, Citharacanthus niger, Citharacanthus spinicrus, Cyrtopholis anacanta, Cyrtopholis bryantae, Cyrtopholis gibbosa, Cyrtopholis innocua, Cyrtopholis ischnoculiformis, Cyrtopholis major, Cyrtopholis obsoleta, Cyrtopholis plumosa, Cyrtopholis ramsi, Cyrtopholis regibbosa, Cyrtopholis respinus, Cyrtopholis unispina, Holothele denticulata, Phormictopus auratus, Phormictopus bistriatus, Phormictopus cancerides, Phormictopus cautus, Phormictopus cochleasvorax, Phormictopus cubensis, Phormictopus fritzschei, Phormictopus jonai, Phormictopus schepanskii

Looks a lot like one of the Neglectad stowawaya species :whistle:

@Rozanne, are you sure that the size is only 1/2inch (12.5mm)?

It is glaringly obvious that a clue on this is hard to get, hence the BS chit-chat, subtly avoiding the topic.

I know a few folks on the Cape flats I used to catch Snoek with that would crack themselves at this spiders name...

Phormictopus jonai

Dja, ek hoor djou my broe, en djou ma s'n oek.....

scarab! it does look like the Phormictopus jonai!
yay!! :woohoo:
