User's notes

This lynx spider was sitting on one of the Opisthoncus shelters reported in sighting 4397239. I thought that would be the end for the jumping spider, but when I checked later it was still inside and the lynx spider had gone (last photo). The jumping spiders seem to be able to close the entrance to the shelter with a flap of silk, seen folded back here.
