Number of photos:   2
Notes:   There are two baboon spiders in my home garden. There holes are more or less 10 meters apart. The photos are of the bigger one. I've moved in this house November 2019 and they were here already in the garden. Because of their shyness, I was lucky today to see this one basking in the sun. The front part is in the hole. It is the behind side that is half outside.
