Trap-DOOrS Spider

ONE of the most interesting and
" ingenious of spiders is the
trapdoor species.
1t Is a hairy. black species of
powerful frame that constructs a
burrow for it's nest. This burrow
is in clay and consists of a deep
tube. lined with silk. Into the top
of Nhis tube a perfectly fitted
hinged door is set. So neatly is 1t
adjusted that when shut, no joint
or crack may be detected from
the outside. When frightened, the
spider runs into it's tube, closing
the door behind it. In some cases
a side tube is also constructed
with a door as neatly fitted as the
first.
Golden eagles are still to be
found in the western and central
Scottish highlands, where the
same nests, or eyries, have been
used regularly for half a century.
