Spider (Flatties)

Description:

I found it in a crack in the rocks. 2 cm long. It looks like a spider but I only see 6 legs (maybe 2 missing). But it might be something else.

Habitat:

Rocks.

Looks like it might be one of the Flatties - Selenopidae. http://bugguide.net/node/view/46243/bgim...

Looks like it lost a leg or legs. I think that is an empty leg socket if you look on the side of its body. It is very interesting though with how flat it is!
