I love the way the spiders can easily tell the difference between a potential meal.......and a bunch of idiots with a stick messing around.

[@Cba409]

They sense vibrations on the ground. Big vibration means big thing out there, best to stay inside. Little vibration means food.

It's AI is a bit buggy when it's too far away from its trigger area, it may not aggro the player unless it is attacked first, and even then it may try to go back to its spawn zone instead or simply flee the battle.

Although it's quite disgusting I have to admit that it was "cute" when the spider pulled aggressively on the door. It almost looks lika a human emotion.

[@Romina_Das_Fischstaebchen]

They have exact same emotions like us humans. Tap a spider and they'll flee, because you're much bigger than them and they're scared of you.

[@derjoghurtmitderecke]

@@Romina_Das_Fischstaebchen Fleeing is an instinct. Not an emotion. The way the spider pulls looks almost as if it is angry and annoyed by the intruder. Those are emotions. Hence my initial comment.

Their speed and commitment when striking is astonishing. I saw trapdoors at the Arizona border at a rest stop. I got out of my car to stretch my legs and walk around a bit, not thirty feet off the pavement, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small circular patch of desert earth popping up and down, and I knew what it was instantly.

[@MoebiusUK]

In London, UK ive seen similar behaviour exhibited from far smaller spiders living in holes in my garden's old brick wall. The tiny holes have a tube of webbing inside that pretrudes to the outside just like these trapdoor spiders. Last summer I noticed a spider will come rushing out to investigate if I touch the webbing with a tiny stick or blade of grass like in this video.

The other tarantula is much slower and seems docile , but I am still scared of them .

Amazing spiders. I remember seeing a video how they make those burrows and the trap door. Takes them SO long, fair play to how patient they are. Around the 4 minute mark, that spider was probably getting proper pissed off at the one prodding and raising the trap door. Shouldn't disturb them as much as that. The music's odd too, but I like it.
