User's notes
Was interested in a Abantiades sp moth that was struggling in a Badumna web about 70cm higher up. Tried to climb up the wooden window frame, but didn't manage to get higher than 20-30 cm up while I was watching.
That's the only photo I have. Only briefly saw the tail. Wasn't terribly long. Can't say if naked or not.

Whilst it looks like a mouse, it was a lot bigger than any mouse I have ever seen, incl. pet mice. The vertical blinds hang 12 cm apart.
