Notes:   Very small, like a south African 20cent pice. It bit my 3 year old son, it was instant and extremely painful and local swelling on the end of his finger tip where he was bitten. We have been finding lots of these in the house since the summer rain started. They are alot faster and mobile than other types we have found.
