Notes: |
|
The spider was covered with a striking golden iridescence.
The spider is about as long as a matchbox and ran faster than a rain spider its size. Once startled it returned quickly to a hole in the wall 30cm away.
In the morning a desiccated centipede was lying 60cm from the hole.
I'm eager to know more about this spider as I now share a house with it.
