Field Notes
Description:
Balkan trapdoor spiders (Cyrtocarenum) are a genus of trapdoor spiders endemic to the Balkans. Like other trapdoor spiders, they make burrows with an trapdoor, which opens slightly at night to let the spider catch its prey. This one is a juvenile, but I've found burrows of some adult ones around the area.
Habitat:
Semi-arid.
