Comments & ID Thoughts
I don't know which spider this is, but it has a white spot on the back shaped a bit like an arrowhead, it has orange tips on the legs, and it has two "legs" on its mouth that I assume help it eat.

Looks like a Trap-door of some kind, perhaps Ummidia sp. ? I’m not too familiar with this genus outside of the US.
Yeah I googled Ummidia and it definitely looks like it, although I also stumbled upon Ctenizidae, which also strikes a resemblance. Maybe the two are related somehow. What’s certain is that it’s some sort of trapdoor spider.
Ctenizidae is the subfamily name for Cork-Lid trap-door spiders. Ummidia is a genus in that family.
Ohhh haha that’s why. As you can see I know nothing about spiders. Thanks a lot!
