little hourglass trapdoor spider

A little cyclocosmia sp. found on an embankment in a park.
Also interested in knowing what the angle of the embankment was for this species...

Next photo should be "finger nail with two holes" lol
In my experience they tend to not be very aggressive in defending the burrow with their fangs, rather trying to quickly bring down trapdoor.

the angle was probably 143 degrees.
Also, the spider was only out for a split second.

The spider was trying to close the trapdoor.
