species of trapdoor spider named Titanidiops kolhapurensis has been recently discovered in the grasslands of Kolhapur district by a joint team of researchers from the Thackeray Wildlife Foundation and

district, Maharashtra.<\/p>\n<p>This spider builds vertical or slanted burrows in flat or sloping grassy meadows.<\/p>\n<p>These entrances are masterfully camouflaged to blend with the soil, making them nearly invisible to the naked eye.<\/p>\n<p>While researchers found a healthy presence of the species in natural forests and native grasslands, they were notably absent in areas overtaken by exotic tree plantations, such as Gliricidia sepium (commonly known as Undirmari).<\/p>\n<p>It is on the verge of local extinction due to rapid habitat degradation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What are Trapdoor Spiders?<\/p>\n<p>They are a unique group of large-bodied, burrowing spiders found across several taxonomic families.<\/p>\n<p>They construct burrows in the ground, the entrance of which features a silken-hinged door.<\/p>\n<p>They burrow up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) deep in the soil.<\/p>\n<p>The reclusive spider feeds by quickly opening the trapdoor and grabbing an insect or other arthropod that is passing close by.<\/p>\n<p>They are generally timid and quickly retreat into the burrow if frightened.<\/p>\n<p>Their bite is not considered medically significant to humans.<\/p>\n<p>They are found in climates with tropical, subtropical, and warm temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>These spiders typically grow to about one inch (2.5 centimeters) long, with some larger species reaching up to 1.5 inches (4 centimeters).<\/p>\n<p>Despite their protective burrows, trapdoor spiders are often threatened by spider-hunting wasps.<\/p>\n<p>They typically do not disperse far from their mother\u2019s burrow, making populations vulnerable to human development or other land-use changes.<\/p>\n<p>Hence only statement 1 is correct.<\/p>\n<p>News:<strong><a
