A mostly brown, patterned spider resting on a tree trunk. Two long spinnerets stick out of the abdomen, looking like two long pointed tails. Spread out around the spider are its long legs.
A slightly farther view of the spider on the tree trunk, showing the spread of the legs. Three pairs of legs are very long, with one pair relatively shorter.
An even further view of the spider. Here, the legs can be fully seen, extending for two to three body lengths away from the spider.
