Trapdoor Spiders Are Masters Of Surprise

Trapdoor spiders brow about 10 inches into the ground to surprise their prey.

[emmyuwu]

Imagine walking in the woods and one of these grabbing onto your foot

[bunpup]

the fact that the spiders are shy make them kinda adorable

[kean.]

I wonder if people have it as a pet and think it escaped
Edit: Imagine the spider escaped and the owners think that it is in its trap door thing

[trueylover]

as someone who is really scared of spiders i think this is super cool and it makes me feel better that they are shy and not agressive

[briannavo]

*WHAT THE HELL.* well I think it's time to pack my bags and leave this planet.

[potaetokim]

if you would keep this a pet people might think your crazy since theres nothing inside the cage
edit: wow thanks for liking..have a good day, God bless

[mariont]

Does anyone know how to populate the moon?

[xShottyXSpartan]

I can't even imagine what it's like being those crickets. Those last final thoughts of life...

[njm]

i would have never thought that they used their silk to keep their trapdoors attached. that's amazing!

[ProbablyWocky]

First thing that came to my mind... Do they mate like that...?

[laurenjones]

Dude! I totally want one! It's amazing how they even thought to make doors using their silk instead of a web. A truely fascinating creature!

[chocolatedonut]

This just gave me so much anxiety i can't

Imagine this spider was your neighbor then it was Halloween:
Kids: *TRICK OR TREAT*
Spider: TRICK!! *grabs children*
Now imagine this but it's Christmas:
All of us: *knocks on door*
Spider: *opens door*
All of us: 🎶Hell naw, to the naw naw naw🎶

[theredpyrogt]

Good news:they eat roaches
Bad news: they're horrifying spiders

[hydrratv]

He said they aren't usually aggressive yet they are some of the most aggressive spider species

[sad.]

Imagine being in ur bed and it just opens up and you get grabbed

[philipgrey]

Don't open that trapdoor
You're a fool if you dare
Stay away from that trapdoor
'cause there's something down there


Like if you get the reference

man, that was fast, that was REALLY fast! Its hard to tell if that was actually speed or if that spider learned Instant Transmission x.x

[BordieD]

These are the only spiders I'm afraid of. Imagine if these things were big enough to eat humans. Like grizzly bear size. And imagine they only inhabited one continent and everyone's too scared to live there cause giant hell spiders will snatch you off your feet and carry you down to their hell hole. The continent would be Australia
