Female trap-door spider
A rare sight above ground, adult female trap-door spiders around here normally spend most of their lives in their burrows. I don't know what this one was up to, but she was wandering around out in the open. She wasn't in any hurry and sat absolutely still for a few shots, this one focus stacked from 9 images. Trap-door spiders are mygalomorphs and more closely related to tarantulas than many commonly known spiders like wolf spiders, orb weavers, and jumpers. Unlike the latter types, mygalomorphs have fangs which point straight down and don't cross. Many can also live well over 10 years.
