Damn, they fast.

Is that commonly known as the trapdoor spider?

I believe so. There actually is a Portia spider. Here it is (in case you haven't had enough):

They've been known to grab toes, fingers and other dangly organs while you are walking or working in the yard...you will never get them back...THEY belong to THEM when they go underground! (Actually...you don't really want them back after the Portis Spider has enjoyed having their way with your appendages, it's not pretty...sad...really sad Frown Eek Frown

They are also pretty stealthy about slipping out of their bathroom hiding spaces and lairs and can slip into a bed without being noticed...if they are really tired from killing things during the day, they will sleep quietly in your warm places...if they are hungry...well, watch out for your dangly parts, ears, toes and especially sleep with your mouth shut...a panty hose stretched over your head helps keep them out!...

Sleep tight...don't let the Portia Spiders drag you away in a stunned situation into their hellish lair...good night all Smile

In my Fl condo I've seen some small versions of them. So quick are they with all them furry legs I enlisted them as my Fungoid Mycosis Fighters doing battle containing the CTCL in my system. Than I morphed the fancy med the doc gave me into their armor and 6 weeks later doc was smiling about how good by blood components were.
Spidylicious.

I read that if you are sleeping with your toes or fingers hanging over the edge of the bed then the spider can nibble your flesh down to the bone. The teeth are so sharp and fine that you never feel a thing. The only defense is to close your eyes before you turn off the light and sleep under the covers.

If you look really close you can see its two main eyes peeking out from the lair just before it pounces on the hopper.
