SpidersLarge spider in Austin
I found this guy climbing up my house on a cool rainy night in Austin. Body about 1 1/2" in length. Maybe a male trapdoor spider?
Jason.
Hi Jason,
We agree with your identification. Either the rains flood the burrows causing the spiders to travel, or more likely, the rains trigger mating behavior, causing the males to travel in search of mates.
