A living fossil: Dinospiders in Colombia

Searching for Dinospiders or Hooded Tick-Spiders (Cryptocellus sp.) in the coastal mountains of western Colombia.

Corrections / additional comments:
7:20 - Termite nest, not an ant nest.
10:21 - This is not an accurate definition of a Lazarus taxon.
12:51 - Mites and ticks also begin with six legs. In both groups it is the larva with six legs, not the nymph.
