Liphistius malayanus
Extremely difficult to see its lair (last image) as it is very well camouflaged. The only giveaway is the "strands" that run out from the entrance out. I figure those are the tripwires that alerts the spider of a potential prey. The spider strikes at great speeds. The human eye only registers a blur of black coming out, grabbing the prey and disappearing back into it's lair.
