Six-eyed sand spider

The six-eyed sand spider (''Sicarius hahni'') is a medium-sized spider with body measuring 8 to 15 mm and legs spanning up to 50 mm,〔''(Occupational Health Southern Africa )'' March April 2005〕 found in deserts and other sandy places in southern Africa. It is a member of the Sicariidae family; close relatives may be found in both Africa and in South America, and its near cousins, the recluses (''Loxosceles''), are found worldwide. Due to its flattened stance and laterigrade legs, it is also sometimes known as the six-eyed crab spider. Bites by Sicarius to humans are uncommon; there are no proven cases and only two suspected cases where the culprit was never identified. Sicarius bites have been experimentally shown as lethal to rabbits within 5 to 12 hours.〔 The genus name ''Sicarius'' is Latin for 'murderer', from ''sica'', a curved dagger. The species was named after Carl Wilhelm Hahn.
==Behavior==
This spider buries itself in the sand and strikes from ambush at prey that wanders too closely. Sand particles adhere to cuticles on its abdomen, thus acting as a natural camouflage if uncovered. If disturbed, it will run a short distance and bury itself again. The six-eyed spider has a poor sense of direction, unlike other species of spiders. On top of this it can survive a year without a meal or even a drop to drink, making it a patient hunter.
