She described it as “creepy unknown species” and she had “no clue what it is, alien!? Can you tell us?”
Seattle’s Burke Museum of National History and Culture Curator of Arachnids Rob Crawford identified the mystery creature as a folding-door spider.
“Their behavior is similar to the more-famous trapdoor spiders. They stay underground most of their lives which is why they are unfamiliar to most folks,” Crawford told Q13 FOX.
