Spiny Trapdoor Spiders (Family Idiopidae)Observer
debbietaylorsaDescription
I have small burrows with trapdoors under a Bougainvillea bush in my garden. There is a lot of leaf litter under there. Some are closed with lids made with just dust and silk. Some are turrets which appear to be made of dirt, plant material and silk. They are occupied. Tentatively ID'd as Idiopidae by Ian Engelbrecht.
