Finally starting to pick up speed and figured why not put it on here.
There just some quick shots, so there not the best.

My itty bitty teeny weeny little polka-dot hamata

 

[Rokosauros]

Thez, that hamata reminds me of those hairy hats worn by farmers!

JMatt, thats simply just beautiful. Lovely colouration, it's N xSabre, right?

He labeled it as being N. x trusmadiensis

Thez - That's a nice hamata, is it seed-grown? Am I seeing things or does it have double wings up at the top near the peristome? That's awesome.

 

[Rokosauros]

Oh dex, my bad sorry though it really does look similar like N xSabre.

It's the BE clone, and I think it looks confusing because it's actually single wings but the hairs split into three and I got them from a funny angle. I think some of the hairs on the lids of hamatas split into threes too... I remember seeing that somewhere in a thread about people comparing tentaculata and hamata a while back. I'll see if I can't find the thread...

Just a cursory search here's some threads about hamata vs tentac. Not sure if they contain the hair info, but a good read nonetheless:

I guess arguing about tentac and hamata was all the rage in 2k7
