Question of the day: How is a trapdoor spider different from a tarantula physically

[BishopiMaster]

I think they should add a question of the day

 

[Pulk]

could you clarify that question? also, who are "they"?

 

[BishopiMaster]

When i say "they" i am referring to the creators of arachnoboards

also, allow me to correct my myself, when i said different from spiders, i should have said physically different from other mygalomorphs

you said differant from tarantulas lol
but
anyway shorter legs and being shiny and not hairy pops to mind lol

they also have a digging thing on the chelicera (wikipedia tells me it's called the rastellum)

 

[lucanidae]

When you say 'trapdoor spider' which trapdoor are you referring to? I've heard all of the following families called trapdoors and of course they all have different morphologies. So... are we talking Idiopidae, Actinopodidae, Ctenizidae, Migidae or Cyrtaucheniidae?

well im pretty sure all of them have the rastellum, bah, wikipedia, cheater
