No worries, this remains a great spot. I completely understand the angle problem on spiders. Tricky and you dont want to scare them either. Love it though.

The angle is not so clear but I recognize the horns/spines in the back and the horns at the end. It could easily be: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/13152136

No sorry I don't have other angles, it was impossible to get at the other side because the net was very close to the soil. But yes this spider get a very strange body.
Smith Zoo
Oh fantastic spider, if you have some more angles of that very strange body please add, would love to see more!
