Notes:   The spider in this record is exactly the same individual as in the previous record. However, in these photos it is apparent that another creature is clinging to the head of the spider. I did not see this with the naked eye but only noticed it when editing the photos. Not sure whether this is a baby spider or a parasite. Would love to know.
