thank you FrancisQuintana

thanks yasser.... i could've taken a video of its movement but given that my internet isn't that fast to upload videos, i didn't. :) it moves backwards even on flat hard surfaces... and on soft soil they move inside the same backward way... :)

this is a great series of photos. I like how you've shown a close-up along with the actual traps!

thanks leuba, actually you won't see it coming out of its sand-pit-traps. But today i dug up many since they have built their traps in our wood store house and we had to clean it up in order to repair the door. They were all relocated to a favorable location. ;)

Great spotting!
