Liphistius jarujini - Primitive Trapdoor Spider
Approx. 0.33" captive-bred spiderling, sold individually in a vial. Liphistius belong to one of the most ancient surviving lineages of spiders and retain the distinctive segmented plates across the abdomen that immediately separate them from tarantulas and most other modern spiders. They construct silk-lined burrows with a camouflaged trapdoor and wait below the entrance for prey to cross their radiating silk trip lines, making them a fascinating species for anyone interested in unusual spider behavior and natural history.
