Field Notes

Description:

About the size of my hand and has claws like a crab. If I was motivated enough I could find its actual name but I don't feel like it.

Habitat:

Caves or other wet dark places.

Notes:

I'm not sure where in Belize this was but it was a cave and jungle tour I went on while I was down there.

I think is an "araña ciega" but that's the spanish name, I haven't be able to find the english name.
