Did you find if it was Myglamorph or araneamorph?

[Steve-D]

if it's what i think it probably is then it's a Myg, if it's not what i think it is then its probably not, but i think it is what i think it is so then i think it is a Myg

the only one i got a good look at (the one in the photo) had drowned in the swimming pool and was badly damaged so the details werent clear. the live ones were way too fast look at. but as i say when i go again ill catch one to have a better look at so iding should be simpler.

Its just it has Pedipalps like a mygal but the carapace looks wierd for one, maybe its just the pics
