\u00a0\u00a0 In\u00a0 describing his encounters with trapdoor spiders, Ian writes:\u00a0 After visiting Colquitz River Park, I went to the GG 9km observation site before dawn today (March 14) and was pleasantly surprised to spot multiple resident trapdoor spiders of various sizes ‘on duty’ at their burrow entrances along the embankment by the trail, including some very tiny ones. The newly discovered larger spiders generally retreated into their lairs as my light and camera got too close for comfort, so it was hard to get a good close up shot of them. One of the smaller spiders slammed its folding doors in my face when it suddenly withdrew. Shocking and rude, but cute to see!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Ian continues:\u00a0 I also spotted a Jumping Bristletail for only the second time. \u00a0I was lucky to see it, as its grey coloring made it barely visible against the tree bark it was on.<\/p>\n
