That's a pretty huge female then. Yes, I once had a female which i reared from juvenile(i caught it as juvenile) which grew to a huge size for a hyllus semi too. I didn't measure it then but it was certainly about the size u said. U seem to know quite a bit of about jumpers. Besides semi and diardi, have you come across any other hyllus?
@adrianlwkeat in singapore, i have only caught these 2 species from the hyllus genus.i just caught a small hyllus diardi adult female at east coast parkway, it was about 6mm long. so i guess the hyllus diardi can adapt to live in sparser veg area.

the largest hyllus semicupereus i caught was a female about 14mm which is as large as most hyllus diardi. i have caught really small ones in sparsely vegetated areas in singapore. hyllus diardi does not seem to be adapt to survive in sparsely vegetated areas.
yes, may not be twice but here the male is significantly bigger than the female. Both are wild caught. The females i raise almost all will be as big or even bigger than this male, however surprisingly the raised males are almost always as small as the WC female here. Totally opposite. This WC big male is, to me, a rare occasion because i have twice found wild adult males which are much smaller.

is it just me or is the male twice the size of the female?
