[edit] Trapdoor and funnel-web spider differences

Pls, what's difference between funnel web and trapdoor spiders? Any tip, how to easy differentiate them? Thanks --Goliathus 09:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How do they mate?

There is nothing in this article that describes their mating proccess. They lay their eggs in their burrow, yeah, but do they mate as usual, do they kill their mate after mating, and stuff like that? Does anyone know anything about their mating habits? It'd be better to add something like "The mating habits aren't well known do to the mysteriousness of the trapdoor spider, but we do know they lay their eggs in their burrows for protection." or something along those lines.

As to the above, funnel-web spiders.... sound like they use a web. The trapdoor spider uses a burrow instead of the traditional web, right? So maybe that's the difference. I'm not sure, I haven't read much on the funnel-webbers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.118.121.189 (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
