A Trapdoor Spider Pulls You Into Its Burrow<br />What does the world look like from a trapdoor spider’s perspective?<br /><br />In this wildlife experiment, researchers carefully mounted a tiny micro-camera on the back of a trapdoor spider to record what happens when it returns to its underground burrow.<br /><br />As the spider opens its camouflaged trapdoor entrance, the camera follows it deep into the soil where a hidden world exists — narrow tunnels, egg chambers, and a complex underground habitat.<br /><br />The body-mounted camera captures everything exactly as the spider experiences it, revealing a dark subterranean ecosystem normally invisible to humans.
