    Torch Spider -
    Cyclocosmia ricketti
    Order: Araneae     Family: Ctenizidae      Genus:
    Cyclocosmia
    Cyclocosmia
    or "trapdoor spider" is a genus of spiders in the Ctenizidae family.
    The abdomen of spiders in this genus is abruptly truncated and ends in a hardened disc which is strengthened by a system of ribs and grooves. They use this to clog the entrance of their 7 to 15 cm deep vertical burrows when threatened, a phenomenon called phragmosis. Strong spines are located around the edge of the disc. The four spinnerets are found just anterior to it, with the posterior, retractable spinnerets particularly large.
    C. ricketti
    females are 28 mm long, with a disc diameter of 16 mm. Only the bottom portion of the burrow is silk lined.
    The individual species are separated from each other by the pattern of the abdominal disc, the number of hairs on its seam, and the shape of the spermathecae.
    There are just 7 species in this family:
    Cyclocosmia lannaensis
    Schwendinger, 2005 — China, Thailand
    Cyclocosmia latusicosta
    Zhu, Zhang & Zhang, 2006 — China
    Cyclocosmia loricata
    (C. L. Koch, 1842) — Mexico, Guatemala
    Cyclocosmia ricketti
    (Pocock, 1901) — China
    Cyclocosmia siamensis
    Schwendinger, 2005 — Thailand
    Cyclocosmia torreya
    Gertsch & Platnick, 1975 — USA
    Cyclocosmia truncata
    (Hentz, 1841) — USA
    Trapdoor spiders
    (superfamily
    Ctenizoidea
    , family
    Ctenizidae
    ) are medium-sized mygalomorph spiders that construct burrows with a cork-like trapdoor made of soil, vegetation and silk. Some similar species are also called trapdoor spiders, such as the Liphistiidae, Barychelidae, Cyrtaucheniidae and some Idiopidae and Nemesiidae. Some
    Conothele
    species do not build a burrow, but construct a silken tube with trap-door in bark crevices.
    Ecology and behavior
    The trapdoor is difficult to see when it is closed because the plant and soil materials effectively camouflage it. The trapdoor is hinged on one side with silk. The spiders, which are usually nocturnal, typically wait for prey while holding on to the underside of the door with the claws on their tarsi. Prey is captured when insects, other arthropods, or small vertebrates disturb the 'trip' lines the spider lays out around its trapdoor, alerting the spider to a meal within reach. The spider detects the prey by vibrations and, when it comes close enough, leaps out of its burrow to make the capture.
    A hungry individual will wait halfway outside of its burrow for a meal. Male trapdoor spiders can overcome the female's aggressive reactions to their approach, but it is not known how. Females never travel far from their burrows, especially if they have an egg sac. During this time, the female will capture food and regurgitate it to feed her spiderlings. Enemies of the trapdoor spider include certain pompilids (spider wasps), which seek out the burrows and manage to gain entrance. They sting the owner and lay their eggs (usually one per spider) on its body. When the egg hatches, the larva devours the spider alive.
    Unlike other mygalomorph spiders, the Ctenizidae have a rastellum on the chelicera. Resembling "teeth" or "barbs" on each fang, this modification is used to dig and gather soil while constructing a burrow. They use their pedipalps and first legs to hold the trapdoor closed when disturbed.
