- Spider: Ummidia
- Location: Austin, Texas, United States
- Spotted Outdoors: Ground layer (leaf litter, dirt, grass, etc),Under rock, log, or debris
- Found in web?: No
- Attributes: Dorsal
My best guess is a funnel web spider? Though once a spiders legs curl inwards like this it means they’re almost certainly dead.
Thank you
Hi, this Looks like a Cork-lid Trap-door Spider (Halonoproctidae) Ummidia. (Funnel-web Spiders/Atrax spp. are not indigenous to the US.) 🙂
