What is the chances of this being an subfusca?

No chance, P. Rufilata is in my view the best pokie. Thats a sub adult spider.
When fully grown the females become a dark olive colour where a subfusca is black
with a more pronounced white.

At the same time, Rufilata grows alot bigger than Subfusca

2 chances of it being subfusca. None and fudge all.
That's an 8" adult female rufilata.

I was only judging by the carapace pattern. Don't you think it looks special for a rufi?

I'll go with fudge all... like in HOLY FUDGE, that is a spectacular P rufilata...

How so?

Carapace marking looks pretty rufilata to me.

Thank you Duke. I hope I was right about why I was confused.

You have more chance of it becoming a pokemon.....Pokemon rufilata

That spider looks nothing like subfusca.

Can anyone please give me an beter way of telling than with ultimate size and colour.

Colouration and markings on that picture will point straight to rufilata.
Not sure how else to explain it, but the spider in that picture is definately 100% rufilata.
