User's notes
I accidentally knocked a layer of granite off a rock and it was underneath. Not sure who was more terrified but after screaming like an arachnophobe, I could see that it was incredibly flat for its size - the photos don't do it justice.

These have been revised recently into different families.
This one appears to be Trachycosmidae family. Can I ask what the vegetation was like?
