Some things that may help to know: 1) It doesn't appear to have a thorax, but a cephalothorax. 2) It appears to be hairy like a tarantula (only not nearly as much, of course) and the long thick 'legs' you see near the head are not legs but are actually antennae, or very long palps.I know this because when he was still alive they were fully erect plus he already has 8 legs. 3) It also appears that he has 3 eyes though I'm not totally sure about that. 4) One morning I woke up with tons of itchy bumps cloistered together... though I never found the culprit I've become more and more inclined to believe this is it. 5) Lastly, and perhaps the most odd, I found a shedding that's IDENTICAL to the abdomen of this spider, I'm positive it came from one of them.
