User's notes

Upload does not allow mp4, which would show more features of the spider, such as how it crawls and its reflective leg pads--> * Added a photo (screenshot of video) of the reflective parts on it slegs. Frame rate of camera was slow, it was night, and the spider was moving, so it is blurry. But this was the clearest I could do Had reflective pads on its front legs, which could be seen by both the camera and first-hand. Just needed to shine my phone light on it. (similar to reflective clothing worn by construction workers). Possibly saw a younger version of this spider when I was younger, it was grey and we called it 'Skully' due to a skull like shape on its back, which is similar to what this one had here. Could not find any info on any spiders that looked remotely like this. It was making its web when I was filming, which was the usual round and round pattern that you see with other spiders (that Im familar with -- dont chase me down for this !)
