I have no idea, I don't know much about spiders so I didn't touch it :)
Thanks folks sure hope its a trap door! My 5 year old was daughter was almost playing with this...... YIKES LoL it still acts very aggressive didn't know if the trap door was aggressive?
Lovely !
Thanks Aaron, I'll check it out but when it comes to invertebrates I don't know what to look for to ID stuff. I have been catching quite a few of these in my traps, at least they all look the same so I assume they are the same!
Check out the genus Ummidia. We occasionally see males out cruising here this time of year.
