User's notes

Dug up from cropland during a wildlife corridor revegetation activity, then carefully re-buried after photos. Whilst dormant it did move slightly. Abdomen is about 15-20mm across. Photo's don't show it well, but there is a red-brown cast to the joints of the legs onto the thorax, the back plate of the thorax and two regions on either side of the abdomen (slightly hidden by the soil clinging to it).

Looks more Idiopid in appearance, a bit hard to tell though
