User's notes

I found a rather sizeable Social Huntsman spider and her young covering the interior of the brochure box. She was resting at the bottom but tensed up when I opened the lid to let light in. There was also movement among some of the juveniles although most flattened themselves against the wall. (Looks like a living version of the spider reported at 4349380 in October 2020)
