User's notes

Large, probably Female ( judging by abdomen size), Daytime Resting amongst our Weed bags, Distinctive "backward folding" Long Legs. Body size (excluding legs) = 5cm. I think I have seen this species more active and Hunting out at Night. Location is just inside The Fair Mt Majura (Tay street). Lots of Tall "spear grass" nearby.
