Trap Door Spider

This spider, you can just see him scuttling back, builds this little burrow, with a trap door for a cover. When it feels the vibrations of something near the opening, it leaps out, grabs the victim, and drags it back into the hole. You can see a quick little video here of how it works - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySXCdcnKBgg
