Cave Robber Spiders
Usually Found: In The Caves Of Southwestern Oregon, USA
While the true name of the species is the “Trogloraptor,” this translates to “cave robber,” leading to the name it has today. The Cave Robber Spider is relatively large and usually found in the southwestern caves in Oregon. They are traditionally yellow-brown in color with 3-inch legs. They are known most for the hook-like claws on the raptorial last segments of their legs.
The species has been known since around 1990, but they were not fully described until the 2010s by biologists and specifically arachnologists. When this took place, many felt this might explain the legends of giant cave spiders in the area. We can clearly see how that happened when looking at it, as they truly are creepy animals that anyone would freak out about seeing.
