In the garden, I discovered a cluster of trapdoor spiders hiding near the old stone wall.

A trapdoor spider lay hidden beneath the hinged flap of its silk-lined burrow, muscles tensed to lunge at any insect that strayed too close.

While hiking near the sandstone cliffs, I carefully observed a wafer trapdoor spider poking its head out from the entrance of a small burrow.

At dusk, wafer trapdoor spiders emerged from the leaf litter to hunt.
