Very cool man. Glad she is still with you. She actually seemed slower than my Gorgyrella red girl. Mine is so fast that you almost can't tell it happened.
Nice! Really cool to see that clip in slow motion.Got my hands on a cheap 120fps point and shoot, and fortunately the spider was up for a snack. It looks like the meal almost gets away this time, but she reels it in anyway. Clip here
Trapdoors in captivity live up to 20 years, so 8 years is not the least bit surprising to me.They're not true spiders, but mygalomorphs (like tarantulas). Therefore a longer lifespan is not surprising, but just how long is anyones guess.

Catfish, you can distinguish Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae by 2 main anatomical features.
Booklungs (true spiders have no booklungs)
Downward striking fangs (true spiders fangs are like mandibles, pinching sideways)
