User's notes

This small spider is assumed to be Acroaspis sp due to the highly raised abdomen. In the first image the spider has its legs drawn up around the prosoma leaving just enough space for a couple of eyes to peer out. The second image shows a side on view. Thanks to Marcus Leach for help with this sighting.
