I just caught this guy patrolling my driveway, now he is next to me in a rubbermaid bowl. I think he may be a trapdoor spider but i'm not sure, I have never seen one before. That is a .45 acp next to him for size. Should I let him go across the street, or torch him with a bernzomatic? |
| According to the thread from yesterday he is just looking to crawl into your dump pouch. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1332770_Dump_pouch_article_.html |

Quoted: You are evil!that's not a he, it's a she, and she's full of babies that are waiting to crawl into your earhole tonight. Quoted: Quoted: it is a trapdoor spider Yep. Collar Door Tarantula. He was out looking for a female. Let him go, he doesn't have long... Ok, I did a good dead and let him go. What do you mean that he doesn't have long? The google says they can live for a couple of years. |

The bitch he just knocked up goes all fat kid at a buffet on him. |

The google says they can live for a couple of years. Judging by the pedipalps it looks to be a mature male. Once a male matures, it doesn't molt again and will die fairly soon after. Could be a couple months/year depending on species. Females can keep molting after maturity which is why a lot of female spiders are bigger than the males and live longer.  Oh and yes, some species, the females will munch on the males after mating. |
