Marie Herberstein, Head Department Biological Sciences Macquarie University New South Wales, fully exclude possibility could spider, though writes, "I never heard spider crawl exist skin integument creature (there parasites amongst spiders)." But also suspects may different animal. She told us, "My initial reaction mite (also 8-legged) rather spider, mites renown[ed] type behaviour, scabies. Let's see identification brings."
