elusive red moustache'd trapdoor spider

Post by josh_r on Thu May 15, 2008 10:44 pm

i have never seen a trapdoor spider like this before. she was found in high elevation pine forest and she had babies with her. i left most of the babies to grow up and continue to populate the area. anyone else ever see anything like this before?? i want to go back and see if i can find another one some day. these are friggin cool!









the babies are orange with a slight chevron marking on the abdomen. you can barely see it in this pic.
