Scorpion-tailed Spider

Arachnura higginsi. The coomon name is due to its tail, which looks somewhat similar to that of a scorpion, and which can be arched over the head from behind, somewhat like a scorpion's attack position.

 

Photographed in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.

 

Focus stack (of just two images) using Zyrene.
