The Pine Rockland trapdoor spider (Ummidia richmond) was first found by a zookeeper in the grounds of Zoo Miami in Florida. With legs extended, the male is approximately the size of a one pound coin, while the female is estimated to be two to three times larger.

The female has a lifespan upwards of 20 years, while the male takes up to seven years to mature before it leaves its burrow to find a mate and dies shortly after.

Male spiders really get the short end of the stick. First black widows, now this.

Time to build a wall around the Florida Peninsula.
Edit: a wall covered with sticky paper.

Size in American:
The male Pine Rockland spider is roughly the size of a quarter, and the female is two to three times larger. The arachnids hide in burrows under their namesake trap door and pounce when prey — insects and other small invertebrates — saunters by.

You know maybe not. Get a piece of trim and then you peace out. I've been chasing it ever since - might not have been so bad to go out on top both literally and figuratively.

All this hate for a black spider seems a bit racist.
