Cyclocosmia ricketti from another angle.
She's pretty cool looking but I never see her now as she's dug a big tunnel and made a door.
 
Such an unusual and unique look! :) Is it known why their abdomen is shaped that way?
 
I believe it's to block the hole to their tunnel, the shape makes the butt structure more solid.
 
Yeah they make a door as well, I have read other people with them haven't had them make a door but mine has.
